I'll see what I can do to bump the sites all to 300.

Also I may customize the robotics.nasa.gov TV page for more choices.

Please note that broadcasting the Kickoff all depends on the Satellite TV truck getting to New Hampshire - last year the truck came from Georgia, and almost didn't make it because of a Ice storm. This year the weather looks bad on the East Coast.

Also Last year we had broadband video conferencing out of the arena, and this year we don't - just be prepared for disappointment. Working for NASA I hate advertising an event when there is a single obvious critical point of failure. No truck, no broadcast.
Out of curiosity, if the truck doesn't get there, doesn't that mean that all of the remote kickoffs are going to be completely and utterly useless (except for any workshops that are offered)? Is there a reason the satellite truck doesn't attempt to get there ahead of time?

Matt
