I posed the following question/idea to FIRST, and I'd be interested in your feedback here also.

The question/idea that I asked FIRST was:

Do you think that anyone would be interested in a "class" on digital photography and/or video editing as part of the "conference" that goes on at nationals in the World Congress Center?

I have offered to put-on this type of demonstration since I teach these classes in my spare time. Do you think this would be of itnerest to team members, mentors, etc?

And....to keep this on-topic. YES, at the three regionals I attended, I was able to record off the match camera via a VCR or with the proper analog (RCA-plug) cables directly into my DV-camcorder. This was particularly usefull at the end for the awards ceremony.

One caveat: for some reason in Toronto, the VCRs that were hooked-up required a separate audio and video line. I didn't get the audio track and others hade the same problem; so it's not a perfect system, but a nice thing for FIRST to do.

Now.....recording all 8 hours of matches to use for scouting tapes ia a bit much for a high-school robotics competition, but if you've got the time......
