I'm here at VCU and the field looks pretty! I'll be on all day sitting at the scorekeeping table.

For all those at VCU, make sure to stop by the Inspectors table and look for Tim Matt and say hi. He's my dad. My mom should be working the real time scoring Wetzel, so look for her too.

Re: 2006 NASA/VCU Regional!
 

I like the new flip-up ramps that are on the entrances to the field.

One note...it seems like people are having problems distinguishing the periods...maybe just because it's practice day though.

Can I get a hoo-hah watching webcast and forgetting about class?!?!?!

/edit/

Anybody got insight on why they are running 60 second periods during the first practice round???

Re: 2006 NASA/VCU Regional!
 

For practice rounds, we are running two matches per session. Each has a 10 second auto but the first time is 60 second periods for drive practice and then a 40 second period. It has to do with the way the scoring system behaves and giving the teams driving practice time.

Can you hear the whistle for the period change? WORST SOUND EVER. The sound guy had to edit the wav because it was 50% louder then the other files. Still finding a few bugs, but working them out.

VCU Real media is working
 

NASA Real Media of VCU

Note: this is not the NASA TV feed which is only on Saturday. This is direct from the Floor. Practice is under way.

Re: VCU Real media is working
 

i get a cannot render file error, can anyone help?

Re: VCU Real media is working
 

Check firewall, reload realmedia player. Good luck.

Re: VCU Real media is working
 

Yea, the web cast was working fine before, but now (in the last hour) the longest i have been able to watch without the connection eventually timing out it 1 min 45 seconds. Its not my Internet connection though.

Re: VCU Real media is working
 

The feed works fine for me. Mine's been streaming for over an hour now.

Re: VCU Real media is working
 

Make sure you're getting the actual .ram and not just the .pl file. Firefox was downloading the .pl for me. I had to use IE to get the .ram.

Re: VCU Real media is working
 

Yeah the webcast is working fine for me.. but I wish they'd change the camera position.. only shows 3/4's of the field.

Re: VCU Real media is working
 

I would like to record this - is there anyway to get it done -

Thanks
