The week leading up to i37 is almost upon us, so it's definitely time we got excited!
All 3 of the Novint Falcons and pistol grips grips have now arrived, as well as the ATK t-shirts.
I want to take this opportunity to thank Novint again for their generosity with this LAN sponsorship, and I really think we will do a great job in promoting them at i37. After playing with the Falcons today, I can assure you that you won't want to miss out on the chance of playing with one. It really is a completely new experience.
Since I won't be there as early as I usually am, Chazlene has been given all the shirts as well as 1 of the Falcons for use between Thursday evening and Friday morning, before I arrive with the other units. He knows how the Falcon works and will be in charge of getting the first Falcon set up properly.
Very soon I will be letting the rest of the LAN know about the Novint Falcons on the MPUK forums and here on ATKCommunity.com we will be showing adverts for Novint in the navigation area above. Before then, let me tell you some important points:
- Chazlene will hand out t-shirts upon payment, not before.
- On Thursday night, the Falcon Chazlene arrives with will be for use exclusively within ATK.
- As soon as the event officially starts on Friday, the Falcon will move to the end of the row for public use with Vox (primarily playing TF2).
- I will arrive later on Friday with the other 2 units, and will designate 1 for more exclusive ATK use.
- The final Falcon will stay in my car until required (assuming it fits in my car in the first place).
- Want to try out a Falcon at i37? Install the latest drivers from here before the event.
Security Notes:
- Every Novint Falcon must have someone looking after it (within 1m) at all times, whether it is being used or not.
- If there are less than 3 ATK members on the row, the Falcons will be packaged up and go with us.
- At night the Falcons will be packed away and secured in a car.
Before I leave on the Sunday, 2 of them will be won by ATK members at the LAN. The plan so far is to give 1 to someone who has showed themselves as being very helpful in the organisation and promotion of the Novint Falcons, and the other away randomly with a name from a hat. I will see if I can get Wizzo to do the honours. Obviously, there will still be a little of Monday left for promoting the Falcons, but I'm sure that will only want to make you to protect them even more if one of them is yours .
Since the Falcons require a US to UK power adapter, I will be providing one for £4 at the LAN. Therefore, If you want an adapter with the Falcon, this beings the cost to £44.
Just to give you a taste of what's to come, here are a few piccies:
