So I just put in the url of the webcast and I'm good to go?

If VLC is your default player then all you will have to do is click on:
Web cast of Duel VII (External Player)
on the website

If not, open VLC and click on Open Network Stream (under file menu) and enter this URL:
http://www.nishinsei.shinraikon.com/DuelVii.asx
And it should open the stream

I am glad you are interested in the webcast and I know with the Tigertrons crew it will be a success.

We also have an embedded Meebo Chatroom on the portal page. Just click on:
Web cast of Duel VII (Embedded Portal)
and join the discussion. I will try to get online with my laptop and join the room. Maybe if the announcers are willing, we could get the announcer game going for a bit (major hat tip to Paul, Karthik, and Jonathan at Waterloo, most entertaining webcast ever) :D

The website is not working for me, I get

I turned my servers off for the night, they will be back on tomorrow morning at about 7ish.:D

Re: Official Updates - Duel on the Delaware - Oct 11
 

I don't know the exact setup (I'll help tomorrow) but I would assume the equipment is powered down in the Salem CC arena right now. Same thing happened yesterday when Scott moved it down here. Try again tomorrow. I will try to check the thread on my laptop to see if anyone is having problems.

Talk to ya tomorrow,
Brian

EDIT: Looks like Scott beat me to it

I just wanted to stop in here and wish all the teams good luck today!
I'm sad that since I joined FIRST, this is the first Duel I've missed!

YAY FOR THE WEBCAST! ~_^

Another fun Duel yet again. We had some problems at the beginning of the day but apparently 222 liked us enough to pick us. We are pro ;). But, I knew it would be us against Moe at some point because in eliminations its always us against Moe. Theres were some pretty instense matches. See everyone going to Jersey there. I dont know where else we are going.

Great day! Great time time had by all. Our newbies had a fantastic intro to FIRST Robotics.

John, you and your crew ran a top notch event, as usual.

357, thanks for choosing us. 1647, thanks for joining us. It was a great run to the semis!

We're checking out trailers for next year's load of books. This time, I know we'll have to go out of county.

We'll be at Ramp Riot. See you then!

I only figured out my travel plans to Duel at 11pm friday night. I'd never been to a Duel before. I'm so so so glad I went, even if I was only there for the first half of the day.

Thanks to the awesome MC, Wayne Penn, for letting me jump in for a few matches. Thanks to everyone in the stands for tolerating me as I learned to MC.

:)
Unfortunately, due to the fact that i'm going to college next year, I may not be back at Duel for a little while. It was an excellent event though, and I hope to be back...someday.

this webcam thing is killing me lol. I need to see. Me and my friend were sitting in the lobby trying to watch it as it was happening but we couldn't lol.

But the competition was pretty amazing. first I've been to and it makes me never want to quit robotics lol.

Thanks guys!

Re: Official Updates - Duel on the Delaware - Oct 11
 

Yes the servers are down, I'm transporting them back home today and will try to have them back up as soon as possible.:D

Re: Official Updates - Duel on the Delaware - Oct 11
