2008 national conferences
 

so i really want to go to some of these lectures but i'm on drive team and pit crew i rarely get time to eat/drink at competition, let alone go to a 45min lecture
so i was wondering if anyone had plans to record vids of some of the lectures and put them on youtube
thank you

I dont know about video, but the FIRST site does say

I have never tried to get a copy of the presentations, but imagine it wouldn't be too much of a problem. However, you will not find them on youtube. Unfortunately, a copy of the presentation is no substitute for getting to meet all the great FIRSTers that are giving presentations and hearing them talk about it.

Audio recordings and PDF versions of the presentations from years past are available on WPI's website: http://first.wpi.edu/Workshops/index.html

They plan to make this season's presentations available as well.

All of the presentations in Room C203 (one of the three rooms) were recorded on video camera, and the slides/audio were recorded using Camtasia so the audio is paired with the slides. Hopefully this method will allow teams to get a whole lot more information from the posted presentations than in the past, because you can hear the commentary on each slide.

I think they only did it in one of the rooms since it was new this year, but hopefully they will record all of the presentations next year.

The conference presentations at WPI's website do not appear to be from the Conference in Atlanta. I was told that at least the presentations from Atlanta would be posted online, but I cannot find them anywhere. Does anybody know where these presentations are posted? Thanks.

Those appear to workshops from Kickoff. The Championship Conference presentations are not available yet.

I keep intending to upload Fred and I's presentation to the White Papers section, but I only remember when I'm at work and don't have access to the presentation. I'll try to make a point of, at least, getting mine up on this site as soon as I can.
