The Blue Alliance Match Archive System
Special 2007 Championship Portal! (http://www.thebluealliance.net/cd/)

The Blue Alliance (http://www.thebluealliance.net/) has compiled over 1500 videos of matches from Rack 'N Roll into our online match database. You can view videos from events right in your web browser, or download higher quality copies for permanent archiving. Search by team number to find all of your opponent's matches, win-lose-tie records, as well as photos of their robot from Chief Delphi and their official FIRST information page. Never before has such a thorough and easy to use scouting system been compiled in one place online.

Specially for the 2007 Championship in Atlanta, we have compiled listings of each division (http://www.thebluealliance.net/cd/) with links straight to each team's match videos and robot photos. If you don't know who else is in your division, this may be the easiest way to find out.

Most incredible! Thank you so much.

Greg, you and Tom are AMAZING.

I'm planning on downloading all the videos, from all the teams in Curie tonight to watch on our 6-8 hour drive up to Atlanta.

Maybe you guys could make an option to download all the matches from all the teams in each division so that people dont have to go to each team, and download each video one by one? Even a grouping of all the teams videos from this season would make things A LOT easier.

By using Firefox (http://www.getfirefox.com) with the Down Them All (http://www.downthemall.net/) extension, you can bulk download our videos very easily. Simply install the extension, then navigate to any page on our site. Every list of matches will have a little green arrow if the match can be downloaded. DownThemAll will see this, and know it can download the video.

Right click on the page, and select the "videos" filter at the bottom. Now simply click "start" and DownThemAll will start pulling down every single video file linked to on that page.

Once you do that, it's easy to pull down all the video for any team or event all at once!

*Checks total archive size*

Good news! Team 177 will have a FULL archived copy of every single match available on TBATV in their pits in case any teams need a quick fix for a match they haven't been able to scout yet (Begins downloading 35gb...), but as of right now, these are just directories full of files, without the full site.

Im downloading Curie right now, 1043 files. Im gona put them on some dvd's so we can watch it on the way down to atlanta. 12-15 hours of FIRST in the bus, followed by 3 days of FIRST. It will be glorious. :)
