NASA Langley/VCU Regional
Richmond, Virginia
March 6-8

Buckeye Regional
Cleveland, OH
March 6-8

More Regional information coming soon...!

Why are there only 2 webcasts?! Last year they had almost every regional webcast. They don't even have the 4 fields at nationals being broadcast. We were hoping for these webcasts for the students in Engineering classes to be able to watch. Plus all the regionals are only broadcast on NASA TV on Saturday, and none on Friday so students can't watch in class and learn.

Note that those are only the first week of regionals. It's highly likely there will be other webcasts in later weeks, but those two are just for the first week of competition.

VCU Regional Webcast
 

I noticed that the NASA link lists the VCU webcast as being on March 7th and 8th. I trust that the webcast will be on Friday and Saturday. Hooray! Good luck to everyone!

For those of you interested in watching today's practice rounds from the VCU regional, here's a link that has not yet been posted.

As of this moment there are two feeds are up and running. Nothing exciting is happening yet, but I think the first practice rounds are slated to start at 10:30am.

can't hardly wait
 

I can't wait until the Annapolis regional. This is my first year on MOE 365 and I can't wait until the regionals. It makes it even better that the event is webcast. It will be cool to see other teams and strategize, but it will also be really cool to have GeroniMOE webcast for all to see as it lifts up the ramp and carries it into our scoring zone, Would that score us points hehehe. Just kidding. Good luck to all of the teams competing today, tomorrow, and Saturday.

GO MOE!!

does anybody know what the practice rounds are? when the teams are going??

Is anyone having trouble connecting to the webcast? my realplayer says it can't connect to host, I think it's our firewall here but.... ???

probally a firewall... seems to be working well. not much rebuffering at all.. there is sound now... video's not the clearest but it'll do

If you're behind a firewall or proxy server, make sure you have Real Player set up correctly. Go to the settings and add the proxy server to the proxy list. Be sure to use port 1090 for PNA and port 554 for RTSP.

So are the only 2 webcasts up this weekend for VCU and buckeye? Does anyone have the links for the others?

Is it just me, or does the announcer from the VCU regional seem kinda arrogant? I think he's stopped just short of throwing out insults sometimes.

I don't know, maybe it's just me.

word to that
 

ya, it's great to be webcast, for the friends and fam, but when you're down there, that's the last thing on your mind, and yes it's exciting :p be sure to catch the annapolis regional, i'm sure it's gonna be interesting, a lotta good teams down there. (too much security, ugh)

that surprises me that there was no webcast or any NASA coverage of the St. Louis regional... beings it's close to nasa, and most of the teams there (including us, 1104) were sponsored by them. i would've liked to save the broadcast of it, or let my family watch it, or something...
