57, the horse so dark it even takes itself by surprise... I'm hoping 57 will have a better showing at LSR with a much strengthened arm system and some software and coaching bugs worked out. But we'll just have to see come Friday, won't we?

You guys had a rough Alamo Regional (though congrats on your SF showing). What have you guys done to improve the robot since Alamo?

Re: Lone Star Regional 2014 (15th Anniversary)
 

We fixed basically everything that wasn't fixed in Alamo....At least on our practice robot, that is. We have a solid plan to transfer those fixes to the competition robot on Friday morning. Our shooter is much improved, our ball intake is much improved, our drive train is much improved, our autonomous is much improved (as shown in the video above). We believe we always had a good design for our robot during build season, but 6 weeks just wasn't enough time to get all of our ducks in a row this year. During the time after Alamo, we have lined up all of our ducks and the mean, green Gatorzilla has chomped right through that line of tasty ducks and we cant wait for Lonestar!

Spent about 30 minutes searching and haven't found any info on the LSR webcast... Does anyone have an answer to Andrew's Question?

Spectrum should be running the webcast on our youtube channel but that assumes the internet connection at the venue is reliable enough. I don't want to promise anything but we will for sure have all the matches recorded and uploaded each night at the minimum.

We are using the same setup they use in Michigan plus we are testing a way to add the FMS overlay and the ability to play recorded matches between matches.

I'm very hopeful it will all work out.

I emailed a few people this morning. I'm told , the webcast will be on the robonauts page. https://ccisdrobonauts.org/

Re: Lone Star Regional 2014 (15th Anniversary)
 

We have a 2-ball auto as well. But I'm not moving Disco up to Contenders... both our teams have a lot to prove still.

Here's a video of our prototype build up to our 2-ball auto.

Re: Lone Star Regional 2014 (15th Anniversary)
 

I'm prepping for the regional, and I haven't been able to find good data from before 2002. Since we're celebrating the regional's 15th anniversary, I'd like to have complete data.

Does anyone know (winners, finalists, chairman's, EI, #1 seed, etc) for 2001 and 2000?

Since 2002 inclusive, there have been 48 blue banners given out by the LSR.

29 of those are represented by teams at the event this year

I have no context for that statistic

Re: Lone Star Regional 2014 (15th Anniversary)
 

Wish I could be there this weekend! Lone Star will always be my "home regional" at heart. I can't believe it's been so long since my first FIRST regional at Lone Star, back when it still smelled like rodeo!

Good Luck to all the teams!

Re: Lone Star Regional 2014 (15th Anniversary)
 

According to 364 they were Finalist in 2001 and Champions & RAS in 2000.

The Cheesy Poofs also came to Lone Star in 2000 and they walked away Champions and with the Defensive Strategy Award

148 has some information for 2001. They were Champions and Innovation in Control winners.

After doing the google thing I remembered 358 has all the awards ever in an Excel file on this page. I cut out the 2000 and 2001 Lone Star awards and uploaded them below.

Re: Lone Star Regional 2014 (15th Anniversary)
 

We took photos of most of the robots at the event and they are uploaded here.

The event is also has two streams.

The official 118 webcast should be at the robotics.nasa.gov webcast page

Spectrum is also running an experimental full field only stream that should be on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59LwLamR2Ak. We are working on getting all the field sounds but it does have the score overlay.

Lone Star is stacking up to be an amazing event. There are a ton of good teams that will be facing off of the next two days.

Re: Lone Star Regional 2014 (15th Anniversary)
 

The Lone Star regional is easily my favorite! Best of luck to all teams!

Re: Lone Star Regional 2014 (15th Anniversary)
 

Have you got a URL for that NASA feed? The #2 feed on Blue Alliance has neither audio nor video, and the #1 feed (Spectrum's live YouTube) is now dead. I'll take sound over nothing!

[Edit] And sometimes teh googel comes through: Video only, no sound (If sponsor frames are running, they're between matches.)

Re: Lone Star Regional 2014 (15th Anniversary)
 

Any chance the Spectrum stream will come back? It was a lot better quality.
