Worked for me. Great video of the robots at the end! (Spoilers though! :rolleyes:)

The link is broken or something along those lines.

The broadcast finally made it to Arizona!

Here it is uploaded in HD: http://youtu.be/WWYZ0B6MroU

Great job to all teams involved.

Re: FIRST Robots to Lead Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
 

GREAT VIDEO!

Re: FIRST Robots to Lead Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
 

Excellent! Thank you for uploading!

Re: FIRST Robots to Lead Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
 

I've been in the trenches for more than 10 years promoting FIRST.
I've been watching this parade for decades - and like a lot of folks have thought "wouldn't it be cool to be IN the parade one day."

Watching the teams and robots today, at the beginning, from the aerial views, and when they arrived in front of Macy's, with the shout outs about FIRST, was so much fun. Thank you to all the hardworking teams who put so much time into this. You certainly "made it loud!"

Re: FIRST Robots to Lead Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
 

Ok, I checked back again 9AM our time and caught the start :P

Congratulations teams and Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Re: FIRST Robots to Lead Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
 

Here's some video from street level as the robots finish the parade after passing the broadcast booth.

Thanks for posting videos! I just missed it this morning (than promptly switched to sportscenter). Can't be caught watching the parade.

Re: FIRST Robots to Lead Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
 

Mark,

Thanks for posting the video. John and I were there to support the team, but didn't get to see them in the parade for a second. I have been pretty unhappy missing my son driving, so this is much appreciated.

Team 16 looked great out there supporting FIRST. One of the most storied programs of FIRST. We're looking forward to the Arkansas Regional this year

Re: FIRST Robots to Lead Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
 

Thank you! Now that the parade is over, I better get busy with that Regional, huh?

Looking forward to seeing your team.

Re: FIRST Robots to Lead Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
 

Also uploaded the clip where they lead the parade into Herald Square: http://youtu.be/u44KASstGdI

Again congrats to all teams involved!

Re: FIRST Robots to Lead Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
 

It would be cool to see the parade from the robots perspective. I wonder if any of the teams mounted a GoPro on their bot?

We had three on ours! Not sure what sort of footage we got and for how much of the parade. I'm gonna try to gather pics and video and do a mash up from Spam's perspective of the trip :)

Re: FIRST Robots to Lead Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
 

A Go Pro on our robot would result in a spinning mess. We do have footage of the entire route from the driver harness. JT will upload it when we get home. There are some pretty funny moments.

Re: FIRST Robots to Lead Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
 

Here's the link to S.P.A.M.'s GoPro footage! Enjoy please! :)

Getting an error that owned has not authorized that video for mobile. Is this on my end or your's or thier's?

Re: FIRST Robots to Lead Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
 

That's my end/theirs. I can't figure out why, but it won't let me make it available to mobile. If the option comes up anytime soon, I will make sure to enable it!

Re: FIRST Robots to Lead Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
 

I fixed it! It should work fine now!

Re: FIRST Robots to Lead Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
 

Looks great. Thanks!
