2010 Regional Webcasts
 

It's that time of year again. Fill in the blanks if you know who is webcasting the event. NASA has yet to publish their 2010 regional webcasts page.

Week 1

Washington, DC - NASA again?


Week 4

Buckeye - Team 48 - link TBD

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Week 3 - Silicon Valley - NASA

Week 5 (Mid-Week) - Sacramento - NASA

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

I remember part of the Connect a Million Minds Project was to broadcast some of these events. It might be useful to call up your local TWC Customer Service Center and see if they will indeed be broadcasting any events that we may not be aware of.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

As a FIRST community over the next few years, I'd love to see us get EVERY FRC event (at least the regular season) webcast, and posted on TBA.

For the last few years Discovery Channel has webcast GTR (but only to Canadian IPs), but nobody recorded the stream, including Discovery themselves, so it never made it to TBA.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Week 1

Washington, DC - NASA again?

Week 2


Week 3

Silicon Valley - NASA

Week 4

Buckeye - Team 48 - link TBD

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Florida usually gets picked up by NASA

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Week 4 - Boston: The Blue Alliance (another program will be filmed by team 61 and given to TBA after the event)
Week 5 - Connecticut: Not Yet Announced (my team has volunteered)

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Sounds like the Finger Lakes Regional will be webcast and on the local RIT channel.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Week 1 - Greater Kansas City http://www.more.net/content/first-robotics

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Thank you, sir!

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

yayayaya I love watching FLR

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Has anyone heard if NJ is being webcasted this year? I'd like to send the link out to some of my co-workers and family again...

Also, does anyone know if Soap Gameday is going to be up again this year?

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Connecticut will be webcast by Team 230. You can access the link (when the time comes) through our website:

http://shsrobotics.org/

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Minnesota North Star (week 5) will be webcast by team 2175. http://robotics.mnmsa.org/webcast.php

We might do 10K lakes if nobody else is doing it.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

FIRST Wiki page with 2010 Webcasts:

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

As of now , GTR will only be webcast for Elims on Discovery.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Anyone know if San Diego will be streamed?

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Peachtree, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center:

2010 Regional Webcasts
 

hey does anyone know what site the webcast is going to be for BAE regionals

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Does anyone know if any of the Michigan districts will be webcast?

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Michigan Webcast of all Michigan events will be at www.CodeRedRobotics.com
Team 2771 will be providing this.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

You're broadcasting ALL Michigan events now? Wow. That's a huge accomplishment for the most long-established of teams, and coming from a 2nd (3rd?) year team, I'm just shocked =O

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

So is it traditional for a team to take up the "webcasting mantel" for their home regional?

I was just wondering on behalf of a second year team (Team 3006) going to a first year regional (Utah Regional).

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Sort of. If you're interested, http://robotics.arc.nasa.gov/events/webcasting.php is a good link to go to.

If you can't webcast, see if you can get some form of recording device to the event and record matches that way, then get them to The Blue Alliance.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

I have the equipment and probably enough students to help me webcast it and record it. I'll see what I can pull together for a GTR webcast.

I won't be at Waterloo until possibly Saturday, so I likely won't set one up.

For people interested in setting up a webcast look at these old threads about it: from 2008 and 2009

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

I hope all those webcasts that NASA has listed on their site (Every Single Week 1 event minus Districts and San Diego) actually end up being webcasted. That would truly be an accomplishment for the FIRST community as a whole.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Week 2 - WPI Regional will be webcast by WPI. Link will be posted on http://www.wpi.edu/news/firstregional when it is available (hopefully by Wednesday evening).

I'm sure someone will gladly repost the direct link on CD when it's available.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Good Evening.

The Finger Lakes Regional @ RIT

Will be webcasted (Friday and Saturday 9am-5pm) at

http://www.rit.edu/first/webcast/

Enjoy the show!

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Anybody know if http://gameday.mttkllr.com (soap108 GameDay) is going to be live again this year? That was great for glomming all the webcasts together in one place in the past.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Note: We were able to webcast all Michigan events last year as well! If it helps to grow FIRST it is worth it!

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Thank you very much for that!!

:)

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

As being a college student and a Robotics nerd... and being on spring break, the quickier i can see robots the better.. So is anyone webcasting the practice rounds tomorrow??

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

This. Anyone?

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

I guess nobody's webcasting today?

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Will practice matches be shown live today or just qauli's and elims?

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Kansas is broadcasting http://streaming.more.net/robomatcheslive

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

I can see the green field! And I'm digging the Roomba roaming the middle zone at Kansas, now lets see 6 FRC robots on that field!

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

They had the camera trained on the field for a good five or ten minutes, then as soon as the announcer signaled the start of the first practice match, they cut over to the sponsor loop... Quick, someone give the A/V crew some coffee!

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Yeah I noticed that too. I was hoping to see a bit of play today, I'm booked the rest of the week.

edit: Looks like they are setting up a camera down at field level now. Someone is a little focus happy right now.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Looks like someone got coffee, the feed's back up.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

let the matches begin!

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

I added a link to the Oregon regional webcast to the wiki. http://frcstream.com/

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Can we get an estimate of when the stream will be up?

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Is it me or is the Kansas feed frozne?

edit:Nvm its running fine =]

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

No idea. I'm watching from Wisconsin. The feed is being done by Bellarmine (sp?) Prep.

Last year it was up starting on Friday.

Anyone watching Kansas know why Blue got -2?

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

No clue... Didnt see anything on that side of the field... But 525 impressed me

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Is it just me or does it look like KC is forcing teams in the far zone to start touching the wall and not allowing them to be touching the goal ramp instead?

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

My stream is starting to get really choppy, it completely stopped a few times too.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

My stream also stopped about a minute ago. Trying to reconnect.

EDIT: Was able to connect back after stopping and restarting the stream.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

I just think that no team is starting that far left. Then again I could be wrong. Also just before the last match started I completely lost the feed. Seems just like a one time deal though. *As I speak I just lost the feed again.*

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Problems here too.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Seems to be running ok for me now. Did they take a lunch break or something?

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Just lost feed again as well. Seems they were changing video since I was able to connect back in for a moment only to see the sponsor slides.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

I think someone was messing with the bit rate, I saw it jump as high as 4k, and even 2k, now it's back down to a reasonable 200 something. As I was typing this they upped it again, to 755kb/s, but it is stable here now. I think they are still trying to get everything set up and finalized.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

anyone know the link to DC?

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Kansas regional music = <3

lmao

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

none of the links are showing the regionals

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Kansas City is rolling.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

The tournament had a lunch break from about 12 - 1 pm CST today, which seems to be when everyone was posting.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

The FLR cast should be available today and tomorrow. http://www.rit.edu/first/webcast/

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

In absence of gameday I have created a poor replacement. Download the attached file and change the extension to .html. Run it in firefox (or chrome, IE, safari, etc.). It has all webcasted regionals in order of starting time.

If anyone wants to clean it up or improve upon it, please do and post a new file.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

I set up a paper to hold the updates of the page. Version 1.1 puts each webcast on its own line.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

As of Now, Traverse City is up, Finger Lakes is up! Adding PeachTree and DC to those webcasts that have kicked started.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

A cool thing I found last night for those of you with dual-screen systems:
http://lifehacker.com/5419028/keep-f...-dual-monitors

If you are watching a Flash feed (Ustream, etc.), this allows you to put the fullscreen flash mode on one screen, and keep working on the other screen without interrupting full-screen mode.

This is tested and working right now, as I watch the Duluth regional on Ustream.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

is Peachtree down for anyone else?

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Will anyone be broadcasting the Utah Regional??

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

So did anyone else just see 217 score 9 points single-handedly? How about that?

Everything but Michigan's working for me so far.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Am I the only one that thinks the quality on the Rochester feed leaves something to be desired?

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Looks like the DC Regional is on NASA TV.

Channel 77 here on Comcast - Minneapolis.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

I have lost KC!

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Yep, same here

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Same here. :( Just Peachtree and DC for me right now.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

A team in GA just got 22 points in DOGMA penalties :ahh:

Teach your human players to be careful.

Also, a new thread should probably be started: Webcasts - lessons learned by watching.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

same. I did notice that Windows media player came up with a message in the corner about it changing media, and then right after that the video connection got really flaky for a minute before cutting out entirely. not sure if any of that is useful, but I thought I'd mention it

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

For KC, Windows Media Player simply refuses to open .asf files. The MORE.net guy was in the pit area, I might ask him about it tomorrow.
Anyone know where I might get a codec (or another media player) for .asf files? A quick search didn't turn up much. This problem happened to me last year, too.

EDIT: VLC Media Player opens them just fine (even has a Firefox add-in!), but only the streamed (which is over now) feed works, not the stored qualification matches.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

I played it on media player and real player before it went down.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

VLC Media Player plays almost anything, including every webcast I've needed to see.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

At various times I had it open in Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic and VLC before it went out

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

I also had it running on Windows Media Player.



On a quick side note. Does anyone have a rough guess as to how long until TBA gets videos online?

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

This is typically dependent on how quickly a team archiving the footage (assuming there is one) gets the video cut and uploaded to the TBA FTP. After it is on the TBA FTP those guys are usually great about getting it posted.

If the video is being parsed in real-time during archiving, it could be uploaded and posted within a day or two. Most likely it will take longer, usually at least a few days to a week.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

I couldn't see if it was mentioned, but does anybody know about the NYC regional?

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Any word on webcasts today? I've hit the links listed on NASAs site, but have been unable to get Flordia or WPI up and running despite their respective sites saying they should be broadcasting.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Hi everyone-

Having trouble posting the link via our CMS, so here it is:

mms://media.wpi.edu/live

We are live now, practice matches are running!

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

I've got the Florida regional cast working (only music/field sounds and breakaway logo right now) but the above link for WPI isn't working...

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

it's working for me. Do you have real player?

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

I've got wpi working in VLC player

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

I have WPI working on Windows media player.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

I'm in VLC and it's not working.. Oh! Nevermind, peerblock doesn't like it. It's up!

And it looks like 2791 just won

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

It looks like Chesapeake will be on NASA TV tomorrow.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Just got WPI up on Windows Media Player at Work.

Thanks!

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Great, I can't wait to see how 1058 is doing!

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

You guys don't happen to have a different camera angle do you?

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Or a clearer one, this one is really fuzzy and the blue alliance driver station covers half of the field.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

VLC plays really clearly

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

There were no camera operators for the practice day, but there are multiple cameras (including two robotic cameras) set up for tomorrow.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

We didn't field a robot all day... so we had good practice partners I guess.

I hope you'll be saying that tomorrow!

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Anyone Watching Pittsburgh? The feed looks really good right now...

Btw, anyone know anything about 3138 at Pittsburgh? They sure don't look like a rookie.

(I've also got Florida, Ann Arbor and Cass Tech Open.... But WPI's Not working?)

@ 9:05, Florida's Opening Ceremonies are up, Cass Tech is/was up, and Pittsburgh Practices are up...

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Anybody have match schedules and such for PIT?

I'm itching to see 1114's offering this year.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

They were on a few mins ago (remember its a 2 day regional so practice matches in the beginning of the day),

You should be itching, they scored 18 points by themselves (20 with lift bonus), or at least that is what the webcast said.

Re: 2010 Regional Webcasts
 

Can I get the link to the Pittsburgh Webcast?
