G.R.L. - Utah http://www.lm4k.com/grlut Light has mass - A message from the Provo City, UT Police Depot. Thu, 26 Nov 2009 18:32:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 en hourly 1 Problem Solving 101 with GRL-UT! http://www.lm4k.com/grlut/?p=65 http://www.lm4k.com/grlut/?p=65#comments Fri, 26 Jun 2009 07:01:09 +0000 admin http://www.lm4k.com/grlut/?p=65 GRL-UT was out and about recently! Hit up the local Cinemark where there just happened to be a shit ton of people lined up to see the midnight showing of a certain movie about robots disguised as stuff and things, but really their just robots. Those clever bastards!

When we rolled up we had this minor issue of not being able to power anything … a few minutes of scouting around made short work of that!

Add a little magic! …

Thanks to everyone who came out to say whats up! Check the small and glorious gallery of awesome camera phone pics here.

For everyone else: 1LT/C is a machine that is capable of running  L.A.S.E.R. Tag for a cost of about $200, providing you get creative and make your own case out of oh… say cardboard? The end result is still well below $300 after you toss in a cheap keyboard+mouse and house everything in a Pelican case as pictured above.

We picked one up to use in conjunction with 1LT/C (which there is no mention of on this site at the moment, mostly because I am a bad person) and finally had the pleasure of putting it through its paces tonight. 147 feet out from a wall at a local mall we were able to cover nearly 1/3 of the Dillard’s building side to side; the entire wall top to bottom. We knew we were on to something when cars started showing up telling us they saw the projection from the nearby freeway and had to come see WTF we were doing. After nearly 2 hours of uninterrupted fun mall security showed up and kicked us out. The next obvious target had to be the local police station… right? Turns out they do not like it when you put ‘Graffiti is neat!’ on the side of the building for lots of people to see.
