Our live stream will automatically archive the entire broadcast and post it to our channel page. At this time, we have no plans to store the footage anywhere else. Now that we see there is some interest, we may make an effort to record and upload one long video of eliminations.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Chezy Champs
 

Can you post a breakdown of the hardware you are using to run the stream?

Re: Team 254 Presents: Chezy Champs
 

Would that channel-archive be affected by the new Twitch rules? Since there's no 'save forever' option anymore, having it someplace else would be pretty good to have.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Chezy Champs
 

With the new twitch VOD rules too, the recorded video might get flagged for copyright music playing in the arena and be muted.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Chezy Champs
 

When we (Texas Events) stream to Youtube we just get an audio feed with only the microphones and game sounds. We haven't had our live stream shut down yet when doing this. Over three events, we have had a few individual matches flagged for copyright because the music was picked by the microphone but most of them have been fine. I'd assume the Gamecast crew will do something similar to reduce/remove the arena music for their broadcast.

Spencer,

We are renting a field from FIRSTWA including the AV case that was at IRI. Evan Morrison is coming down for GameSense and will help us get everything set up.

We have a box that can record as a backup if you like. I believe it takes hdmi.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Chezy Champs
 

Will there be Internet accessible for team use in the stands?

Re: Team 254 Presents: Chezy Champs
 

To everyone who is curious about the broadcast recording and VODs:

There will be local recording of the stream, but we are still working out if it will be chopped and uploaded match-by-match in real-time, or if we're just going to record the entire broadcast in half-day chunks and deal with match chopping later. Rest assured, we will have a way to get the recordings on to YouTube without having to worry about Twitch's new VOD muting policy.

Glad to see Gamesense being added in to the event!

Can't wait for CC!

Re: Team 254 Presents: Chezy Champs
 

After spending a good 11 hours organizing our finally back from IRI road case and going over all of Game Sense's plans, I can say for certain that all of you are going to be blown away by what Game Sense is bringing to the table. This will be the best live/venue streaming and sports casting ever in FIRST history*. Also, yes the Chezy Arena FMS overlay looks more amazing than anything you have seen so far. I actually wish it was the standard, with the CC logo replaced with the FIRST logo.

*I heard the ESPN stuff was pretty good, but come on that was so long ago.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Chezy Champs
 

All,

We expect to have the following rule changes for Chezy Champs. Notable changes from IRI include the lack of a 4th autonomous ball, standard serpentine draft, no picking of backups, and allowing timeouts during elims.

• No inspection, Honor system on legality. +5 pounds allowed. Gross / obvious violations of robot rules will be identified by referees and event staff and must be corrected before the robot continues. All other FIRST robot rules apply.
• There is no zone requirement for possession/ assists.
• A trussed ball which is untouched by another robot and enters the low goal will be considered scored.
• G21 [Robots may not extend outside the field.] No penalty for violations. Continuous / repeated violations will still be a technical foul. Contact outside the safety zone will still be enforced.
• G14 [Strategies aimed solely at forcing the opposing alliance to violate a rule are not in the spirit of FRC and are not allowed.] Violation: Technical Foul or "No Call" at discretion of the head referee
• G12 [An alliance may not possess their opponent's balls.] An immediately rectified possession of the opposing alliance ball (from a truss shot, human play or field crew action) will not be penalized.
• Referees will not attempt to judge team intent - the benefit of the doubt with regards to penalties will go to the teams.
• The field will not contain dynamic retroflective vision targets. Hot goal indicator lights will still be present.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Chezy Champs
 

These are the rules we should have had all season long. CC should be awesome!

Re: Team 254 Presents: Chezy Champs
 

Well there goes our 4 ball auto... :rolleyes:

On a more serious note, these changes are going to be fantastic for the game. I'm curious, though, why you chose to keep the serpentine draft.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Chezy Champs
 

If you could pass this one along to the GDC that would be great.

Looking forward to watching a great event!
