The robocam returns! We filmed our matches at
Davis last year and at
Cal Games last fall; now on to 2008 and the Silicon Valley Regional. Check out all sixteen videos on Vimeo at the link below:

This year I mounted the camera to the final stage of our elevator, so it rises up to about ten feet in the air when we hurdle for added excitement. But in other respects, it's still the same cheap camcorder from last year, and still attached with polycarb, a bolt, and some velcro. The quality's low, but the videos are fun to watch and they actually document our matches pretty well.
Each match video is tagged by team number, so if you were in one of our matches at SVR last weekend, look for footage of your robot with a link below:

Thanks to everyone who made the Silicon Valley Regional happen and to all the teams for a great competition.
