FYI you have an end pit next to the practice field and I will be setting up an extra table or 2 next to your pit for the demo.

Just got back from the practice field where I was watching a few of the central Indiana teams practicing. QC better watch out!

Just got back from our practice field as well! Still practicing as it is being broke down to load out tomorrow for QCR.

Fearless Likely Wrong Prediction - 16 and 525 will defeat 1024 and 868/234 in the finals, and 2016 will win the Chairman's Award.

Re: 2014 Queen City Regional
 

Laying all out there, eh Travis? There are quite a few strong teams showing up in the teams list - we're up to 47 teams now and adding maybe one or two more. Anything can happen here in our fair Queen City. Even your "fearless likely wrong" prediction could come true, hard to dispute those powerful teams. It's going to be tough for everyone.

Great! Stop by and say hi.

Re: 2014 Queen City Regional
 

The Swartdogs are excited to be heading east this year and meet up with old friends and make some new ones. We will miss our familiar surroundings at 10,000 Lakes but are anxious to compete in a new place. The only part we are not looking forward to is 8-9 hours on the bus instead of 3 ½.

Team 4830 from China will be traveling with us. They arrive here tomorrow afternoon and will visit our high school on Wednesday morning leaving with us on the bus at 12:30.

We are going to do our best to make sure they have a great experience and I'm sure everyone at the regional will welcome them and do the same.

Just got back from our practice field where the drive team was putting glitter on posters...hmm.

Re: 2014 Queen City Regional
 

I REALLY appreciate that you guys are managing a webcast for this event! Thank you so much. I can't be there with my team, and it's been great to watch today.

Not a criticism, just curious: can you improve the quality of the webcast at all? I'm trying to scout, but I can't read the team numbers on the bumpers. Is there an HD option available?

Re: 2014 Queen City Regional
 

Is the schedule on the blue alliance correct?
Also, are the practice matches not showing up on FRC-Spy for anyone else?

Re: 2014 Queen City Regional
 

Unfortunately we aren't able to take full advantage of the equipment we brought with us because the box provided by the AV crew only accepts a composite (480p) video connection. Our initial hopes were to stream in 1080p. BUT, I'm sure the venue can handle HD streaming-- if we had the proper equipment-- the internet connection here is a beast!

Re: 2014 Queen City Regional
 

Thanks for trying.

It helped when you showed the angle from the truss and showed a quick closeup of each side of the field.

If we can get that angle before each match, we should be able to get an idea of what each robot looks like with the bumpers clearly showing, before switching to the full-field view.

THANK YOU! The webcast was great today. It was nice to be able to see our practice matches. You rock!

Re: 2014 Queen City Regional
 

Best of luck to our friends, 868 and 447.

What's with the weird sound repeating in the webcast?
