Florida Botball Stream

We just got tipped off that UNF will stream the Florida Botball Tournament on Saturday, March 12. We've added a link at the Botball Live page (click Video, then Florida). Remember, Botball Live is not operating this stream; we're just linking to it so that Botballers can find it. Any questions about the stream should be sent to UNF.

Spam Deletion

We have gone through and deleted many accounts and posts that were spam. Better filtering will be implemented in the near future. In the mean time, any obvious spam will be grounds for immediate account deletion.

The Spam Problem

We are aware that some spambots have been attacking the Community site as of late. Every week or so, we delete several hundred spams. We're working on a more permanent solution, but it probably won't be implemented until after Botball Live is ready. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thanks for your patience,

Botball Live Pushed Back

As you may have noticed, Botball Live was pushed back from its planned March 5 release due to a hardware failure which occurred a few hours before the Oklahoma tournament. We're working on getting replacement hardware, and hope to be operational for some upcoming regionals. Stay tuned to the Community site for further announcements.

Thanks for your understanding.
