Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Thanks for webcasting for us.

up here in the Northeast we always like to see how the game is being played in other parts of the country.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Anytime Peter, we hope that this webcast can provide a clear view of the matches. We know how it is when we can't get a good look at our northeast buddies too:)

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Thanks so much, High Rollers!!!!! The Beach Bots are en route to Arizona with only a skeleton crew. We supporters left behind were bemoaning the lack of a webcast. My family will gladly be tuning in as will others, I'm sure. Appreciate your efforts so much!

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Awesome Awesome Awesome!

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Thanks high rollers for providing this!

Is the webcast extremely choppy for anyone else? I'm having trouble keeping a connection for more than 3 or 4 seconds at a time.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Yes, choppy here too. A few seconds of action, then it buffers for a while, then action again. Better than no webcast, but hoping it will improve by tomorrow.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

I'll be watching... Don't disappoint me 399!


goodluck to all teams =)

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Yay! Thanks!

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Thanks High Rollers!

Test schedules here at college are making this the first year that I won't be able to attend at least a portion of each day of the AZ regional since I was a freshman in high school, and I was bummed out I wouldn't even get to see it on webcast. Hopefully its less choppy but webcasts are always in the testing phase the first day anyway.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Thanks for the webcast! 987 has always been a classy group, we all really appreciate the effort. :)

Right now the webcast for me is a little choppy, 3/4 video and then maybe 1/4 buffering timewise. Not too bad at all. Also, there isn't any audio yet, but I'm sure you'll have all the bugs out by tomorrow. Can't wait to see all of the teams on Saturday after my classes end!

I like the wide shots better to see the whole field

Thanks for casting to those of us that aren't there. HighRollers rock!

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

I get video buffering about every 6 seconds.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Not working at all for me now...

As soon as my team goes up ;(

oh well, I hope the bugs are fixed for tomorrow! choppy is better than no feed at all.

edit: working now :)

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Webcast is working really well no, no choppiness.

keep it like this for tomorrow? =) limit viewers if you have to.

Hahah just kidding (but no, really)

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Somebody needs to get the camera man a new camera with no zoom...

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Agreed, we watched that purple robot drive back and forth for half a match while 330 scored 5 points somehow?

=(

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

I have choppiness as well. Also, does anyone else have sound? I seem to be lacking that...

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Same here. Buffering every 10 sec and no sound.

Nice wide views with occasional and brief close-ups has been good.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

For those of us accessing the feed through a school filter, can you give us the direct link to the feed, so I can get it unblocked? I can get access to the page, but not the feed.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Second the request for a direct link.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Unable to get any feed at all right now.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Matches should be done for the day.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Figured that but, but just hoped that there would still be something to watch, sucks to get sick the first day of your regional :(

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Thanks for your patience everyone. Doing our best with poor internet connection at the arena and camera is done in-house...we are just using the typical feed provided by FIRST. Hopefully our team will have some of the bugs with our robot ironed out as well;)

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Webcast is looking great! Thanks 987!

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Thank you High Rollers !!! For those of us at home this is priceless.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Great looking webcast thank you!

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Match 28

330 Shoots a ball in the goal from the farthest point in Autonomous mode!!! O_o

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Are there any realtime rankings or do we have to wait untill alliance selections

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

http://www2.usfirst.org/2010comp/eve.../rankings.html ?

My video seems to be about three matches behind what is live, but it still beats nothing for sure!

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Same here, it's confusing because the real-time scoring on the right side is live, but the stream is lagging a few matches.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Is there a way to view overall standings in all of FIRST over the past 2 weeks

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Considering they changed the ranking rules between last week and this week, probably not?

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Anyone else have feed from Arizona right now? We seem to have frozen right before the first match of the finals.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

I've lost it as well.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Just heard from an inside "source" that there won't be any more webcast. Boo hoo!

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Sad, we won't be able to see our fellow Hawai'i team captain their alliance to their second win of the season. Congratulations to 359 along with 330 and 2403 on a job well done.

Congratulations also to 359 for their Chairman's win... what a ride!

Thanks also to 987 for the webcast - much more informative than refreshing FIRST scoring pages!

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Well, according to the Blue Alliance the finals are already over, with 2403, 359, and 330 coming out on top of 3194, 2375, and 987 in 2 matches.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

A note of interest: 1013's bot kerploded during the first match, so a backup bot was called in (2375). It was a tough round of eliminations, but a well deserved win for 359, 330, and 2403.

A special congratulations to team 359 for winning the entrepreneurship award, coopertition award, #1 seed winning alliance captain, and chairmans! You guys are on fire this year!


Myself and a few other alumni of team 1726 were helping out rookie team 3194 from Tucson AZ over the build season and during the competition. They were super-psyched over their first competition and excellent performance, and assured me they'll be competing again in the coming years. :)

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

I fully concur with all congrats (Way to go 359!) and thanks. It was so disappointing last week not to watch the Poi Pounder X in action. Thanks High Rollers for hosting the webcast!

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

A big WOOT (and shaka) for 359 - the Hawaiian Kids! Have a safe trip home. Can't wait to see you at the Hawaii Regional.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Thank you to everyone who attended this weekend, it was a great regional with some of the best playoffs we've seen in years! Congratulations to 359, 330, and 2403 on the victory and to 359 for their Chairman's award as well.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

I see 359 pulling an 1114 this year. 3 Regional wins.

Big congrats from us folks in Jersey to Glenn and his team! :D

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Team 359 would like to thank 330 and 2403 for being great role-playing alliance partners in our win of the regional!
It was great seeing and making many new friends here, especially being able to put faces to names here on CD.:)
Winning the CA was the icing on the cake..........as it was such a debate whether to enter it here or in Hawaii again.


330 is a great all-around bot and we certainly complemented each other well in the eliminations. If 330 wasnt available, 987 or the rookie team 3194 would have been our second pic, as they feed balls well also!

Especially would like to thank teams 399 and 987 for a fun weekend! You guys are great as always!

See you all in Atlanta.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Congrats to 359, 330 and 2403 for their well deserved win this weekend. Thanks to team 987's partners, 3194, 1013 and our backup bot, 2375 for putting up a great fight. Special congrats to your crew Glenn for the CA too. And a big thanks for the soccer balls, Glenn! My money is on your team getting another banner in two weeks too:)

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Thought people might be interested to know that our AZ webcast was watched by over 8000 viewers Fri and Saturday from 14 different countries! A special thanks to our student webmaster, Travis and co-advisor Eric Stensrud for their efforts to make the webcast so successful. Sorry about the loss of webcast at the start of finals...the venue cut off our internet!

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

A big thanks to 359 and 2403. It was great fun playing with you all. Congratulations team 359 on winning the CA. Good luck at your future competitions. See you in Atlanta.


Joe, do you know if there will be an archive of the matches?

Thanks much for web casting the regional - I know many members/parents of our team tuned in to watch and are very grateful for this.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

Shane,
Glad you all enjoyed the broadcast. We have to convert the archived feed into new format and parse the massive amount of non-game stuff before uploading. Not sure how long it will take but it's in the works.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

If you think it's going to take a long time to parse, I could upload my clips for now. Mine are from my own recording at the Regional and not from the webcast. I know TBA would prefer to archive the webcast videos rather than personal recordings, but my clips could be used until yours are ready. That is, unless, there is a lot of work for TBA to replace the clips or you think your parsing will be done soon.

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

It looks like it will take us awhile to parse archived video of regional after all...good idea to pass along what you have for now, and thanks for sharing!

Re: 2010 Arizona Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 987 The High Rollers
 

The matches are uploaded and available on TBA.
