Right now the The Blue Alliance has scores but no video.

The NASA Robotics Alliance is teasing me with a podcast at this location http://www.podcast.tv/video-episodes...l-4582699.html
that does seem to want to play on my computer.

Clever searching by someone might turn up a useful source.

I did find one video on the Menlo -Atherton team's site. It is of the final match of the 2006 SVR. In that match, a Poofs/alliance choice to stop an opponent during auton (instead of setting up for an immediate Teleop score), aggressive defense (and a bumper that fell off of a robot in an unfortunate location) combined to create an unusually low-scoring match for the 254 bot. In that match the Poofs & their allies chose to go for winning auton.

However, the opposing alliance still lost the match and the alliance with the Poofs won the regional. Several factors were in play. One was that when you are on defense you usually aren't scoring anything.

That video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWyoNY6CkHQ

Can anyone find any other 2006, Team 254, SVR (or other location) videos?
