    WiFi right!!!???

    I have not seen anything on the boards concerning the WiFi competition this year... It will still be on correct? Or did it die? (please say no!)

      Thorn is correct. There will definitely be a contest, and we have a pretty good idea of the direction we are going with it...but I change my mind 5 times between my chair and the pisser...so who knows what will happen between now and July.

        long distance shootout? or all ideas under rusty lock and key in the minds of the beholders?

          I've been talking to Chris about creating a combined "mini-contest" based off one of his last year. Locate the AP, then pick a lock on the security cage to disable it. The contest would require the combined skills of lockpicking and WiFi.

          (Gotta admit RenderMan's inability to manage his time and compete in both contests last year was the inspiration. )

          Sound interesting to anyone?

            Ahh...you mean the WiFi shootout. No idea what those guys are up to, if anything.

              Hey, I would have had the runningman(woman) found in 10 minutes if my gear had been reporting the right MAC (still have'nt figured that one out), and Chris extending the contest time

              I actually like the idea of combining contest skills for something like that, however I'm not sure if there's enough people with overlapping skill sets that could make for a good competition. You can't assume every Wi-Fi guy knows how to pick, and vice versa.

                Would a team not fix this problem? I do payloads, you do recon, and he will do lock picking.

                That's how it works, generally, in the real world

                  That takes the practicality of not knowing the AP is going to be behind a physical lock though =/

                    ...someone just said wifi shootout and I shot a load.

                    I can't wait for the excitement, the thrill, the shear painstaking agony! Who pray tell can build a bigger dish this year?! How many $500 gift certificates will be given away?!
                    if it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud; and I'm gonna go there free.

                        That was a pretty cool setup that you had last year, and although I missed out on the contest last year (due to some alcoholic reason!) I will definately participate this year. Hope to see the same or like contest.

                          that is one of the greatest things i've ever heard of. i'd definitely be up for that one!

                          question is, what happens when Alice has found the WiFi point and is crouching down by the lock for 2 or 3 minutes, then Bob comes along with his picks out? would he have to wait for Alice to give up? or would the cage perhaps have multiple doors, with each one bearing an identical lock? (Thus, even if Alice was a little quicker on the WiFi part, Bob could still win if his picking time is faster)

                          sounds like a really awesome plan, in any case. perhaps i'll have to improvise a RenderRig myself and go head to head with my bro from Canada.

DRM, low bit rate, etc... OiNK it existed because it filled a void of what people want."
