Webcasts.
 

VCU is currently being webcast.

Check out the official website for the info.

Fixed Camera Stream, Full Field

Big Screen Display

You need some version of RealPlayer to view the streams.
RealOne (or whatever the newest version is) sucks, so go here, and download Real Player 8 Basic, if you have to.

i'm having trouble viewing the video. it looks like i'm downloading it by my network usage, but it's not decoding it correctly or something. listening to webcasts just isn't fun to a child of the tv :p.

Really nice quality. Watching the practice rounds :) Man.. FIRST music.. if it weren't for the play-by-play i'd have no sound.

Very large field crew this year, nice to see. Looked like about 15-20 people resetting the field, was finished in under a minute. Probably fastest field reset I've seen in my 4 years.

Is anyone recording, and planning to host the recordings of these? Unfortunately I can't view the live feed..... :(

This is awesome, too bad my schools internet connection is bad, so I just went home to watch :)

fixed my problem, working great.

maybe i'll be able to watch in some of my classes tomorrow...

So what has been going on? How important is autonomous vs human period? And how important are KoH robots versus stackers? etc etc

Re: Webcasts.
 

Whenever I try to open either stream, Real Player gives me the following error: "Unable to establish a connection with the server." I tried everything I could think of in the last 5 hours, but I end up with the same message. Why can't I get to the stream, or anywhere under http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/ for that matter? I am definitely annoyed.

Are you saying you like it or don't like it???

Side note: FIRST Really likes the song Drops of Jupiter by Train, I hear it at every competition.

Soap 108 usualy documents videos of regionals (not sure when their putting them up). www.soap108.com

Awesome, I can't wait:yikes:

I'm in my school, with RealOnePlayer installed on the computer, and it tells me that it can't find the feed. is this because, 1) my school blocked an important port, or 2) too many people are trying to watch VCU?

worst thing, i can wait till i get home, but i'd like to see some competition.

It's because your school sucks ;)

...tell mrs. champey to check her e-mail.

bleck.. im having the same problem

keeps telling me "rtsp://163.205.10.21:554/encoder/firstva1.rm" cant be found or whatever in real1 when i try and look at the VCU webcast.. boooo!

any ideas why? im running a cable connection through a router? that wooooooudlnt have anything to do with it right? = )

Exact same situation here. Ayone know what's up? The Windows Media one for Buckeye wasn't working either.:(

The reason maybe because the competition is over for the time, so they closed-off all the webcams. Try again Saturday, and see what shows. I know that Windows 95 doesn't like the new RealPlayer (our school computers are 95).

lol.. i was trying that address for about the 3rd time before i thought about that possiblility (competitions being over).. heh, but it seems that they would have posted a message or something? i dunno.. i just hope that they have it up tomorrow.. id like to really get a feel for what the competition is going to be like.

no worries here, use windows 2000, smooth as can be
