That was happening for me at well, although I wasn't sure whether or not it was my school's connection.

Re: Field Match Lists and Webcast
 

at around 5 oclock today, the galileo feed went down. i couldnt get the east or the weast coasts feed. but i wam able to connect to the other divisions. has anyone else had this problem or is it just me?

Re: Field Match Lists and Webcast
 

The KSC/NASA page does mention that the webcast is from 8-5pm, maybe it has an automatic shutoff.

Re: Field Match Lists and Webcast
 

The NASA webcast as seen on NASA TV is from 1-5 pm Friday and 8am-5pm Saturday.

I would think that they may have finished matches for the day. Either that or they are having technical trouble (which isn't uncommon for a short period).

I hope the webcasts tomorrow are better and don't cut in and out as much as they did today. I got a decent amount of time on the Archimedes, Galileo, and VEX webcasts and the VEX webcast seemed to be working the best. Higher quality than the others and it didn't cut out at all while I was watching it.

Re: Field Match Lists and Webcast
 

is there anywhere were we (firsters unable to be in atlanta...) can get the match schedules in the morning when they are giving out? will they be posted somewhere or will i have to try to get a hold of some one down there?

Re: Field Match Lists and Webcast
 

Nasa TV = Switches back and forth between fields at like 10 - 15 secs intervales (maybe more).

Nasa Web Cast = 4 Different links for each division during qualification rounds - 4 different links leading to the main championship rounds on einstein and awards ceremony (each link leads to the same screen)

As per a very earlier request, I would love to post the match list for Thursday but the way the matches ran were very poor at least a 1/2 day in on Galileo, After lunch everything finally caught up but we were still about 30 minutes behind =(

I didn't think this was wort making a new thread for..
so I'll post here..
why would you cover your robot overnight? at nats

Re: Field Match Lists and Webcast
 

I haven't been to Atlanta, so I don't know the situation there. When the Championship was at EPCOT, the fields and pits were in tents on a parking lot, and the tents would leak if it rained (which it always seemed to do, at least one day -- the HOTBOT was covered by many Mickey ponchos!!). We didn't need to in Houston, and I thought Atlanta was a dome too, and wouldn't need to either.

Re: Field Match Lists and Webcast
 

You shouldn't have to unless you are afraid someone will mess with your robot, which everyone should be gracious enough to leave alone. The way the pits and field are set up in atlanta is that you play in the Georgia Dome and have a pit that is in another building. Its like a 300 ft walk from the exit of the pit to the enterance of the Fields. BUt its all in a building so you shouldn't have to cover them now.

Re: Field Match Lists and Webcast
 

I always thought we covered our robot so it could sleep. There really wasn't a reason for it other than the protection from the weather in Florida or the fun of "unveiling" it every morning.

Re: Field Match Lists and Webcast
 

Try http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/robotics/

It is the seperate 4-feed site, but the quality is not the best :ahh:

Re: Field Match Lists and Webcast
 

what you see there is what is on the screen there

Re: Field Match Lists and Webcast
 

Juat as a proud parent tucks their child in to bed at night, some FIRST teams full of proud "parents" tuck in the robot for the night.

Just a guess.. :)

Re: Field Match Lists and Webcast
 

Well Nasa TV just came on. It's showing lego league now. I would have never thought my dorm would have nasa tv!!

Re: Field Match Lists and Webcast
 

Has anyone found out about this yet? Maybe I am just missing it ...
