Hopefully it will end up getting webcast...I'm working a booth @ K-State Open House about FIRST and it would be nice to have the LSR webcast....if not there are a couple others that would work just as good.

The Nationals will be webcast and also should by on NTV, In the past all four fileds of play were simultaneously webcast, which of course is impossible to do on NTV. Because of the ongoing Mars missions, it is not certain that we can get all of Friday onto NTV - Saturday is usually a safe bet.
Guys I am not asking for a lot - just some leg work - If you could just find out if it is feasible to do a webcast it would be a big help. We have some leverage - we might even get some help from Real, Apple, Microsoft, etc.
The show stopper here is the network connectivity - typically FIRST isn't too concerned about WAN at a site - sometimes there is just dial-up. If there isn't ethernet at the venue, it is possible to get ISDN service - and thist typically costs a couple of 100 bucks for an event - and requires special equipment (ISDN Modems, etc.) We will work with you if you want to take on
this "homework" assignment.
Thanks.
Thanks.
