Re: 2016 Minnesota State Champs
Team 2823 is looking forward to our first trip to state. We're still a little bit tired from our crazy run at champs (we finally shimmed our shooter properly), but we're also looking for our first blue banner. Can't wait to see everybody on the field!

Re: 2016 Minnesota State Champs
Is there going to be a live stream? I have out of state relatives asking me for information.

Re: 2016 Minnesota State Champs
According to Mark Lawrence the webcast must be done by www.prep45.com as it is a Minnesota State Championship. I'm not sure if you will need to pay to watch it because of that or not...?
Mark provided this link in one of his recent emails: http://mnfirst.us13.list-manage.com/...e= 5d103023fc |

Re: 2016 Minnesota State Champs
Thank you for the information, I will pass it along.
Does that imply that the tournament may get some coverage during "MN Prep Spotlight" on Sunday at 9:30? |
Re: 2016 Minnesota State Champs
Any idea if the match videos will be archived in any way? Also, does anyone know if the FMS reports will be available (after or even during) for review and/or upload (e.g. to TBA)?

Re: 2016 Minnesota State Champs
The MSHSL has a contract with prep45 to webcast events, and the State Tournament is a MSHSL event. I don't know if you'll have to pay to view or not, I do know it's a subject that has come up before.
When you think about it, having that deal in place for most of the MSHSL activities completely makes sense. FIRST is probably the only one to have the sort of in-house experience live streaming events that we do. |
Re: 2016 Minnesota State Champs
Prep45 has in the past (and I suspect will this year) also made available a DVD of at least the playoff rounds available, with their commentary. However it is not free.

You need a log-in account on the prep45 website to get access to the stream, and (unlike HBOGo) you can only have one device at a time streaming a paid feed. So grandparents in one city and aunt/uncles in another will have to pay separately. The long-term deal between prep45 and the state high school league does bring in revenue to the organization, and it guarantees television/web streaming of certain state tournament events, regardless of whether there'd be enough paying customers to justify the production costs (the 2016 girls basketball Class A quarterfinal game between Sleepy Eye and Mountain Iron is available on-demand, in case anyone is interested). But the deal has its fair share of detractors. Robotics is far from the first sport in Minnesota to have experience live-streaming games/events (our high school's hockey games have been streamed for several years now). And there's been more than a few conflicts (for example, when a hockey team is barred from streaming their section final game because the wrestling tournament is being streamed at the same time :mad: ). The prep45 deal is really comprehensive, and they are very aggressive in legally protecting the broadcast/streaming rights that they've paid for.::safety:: |

Re: 2016 Minnesota State Champs
We demo'd robots at the Minneapolis Maker Faire last Saturday. I took the liberty of printing up 150 'free admission' coupons (good for two) to the state tournament which all the teams demo'ing handed out to those who we spoke to. Many people were very pleased to get free tickets. I think it will actually make people more likely to come than if we just suggested "Come to the tournament, its free admission for everyone!"
