Just very very small chance that some one would watch it more than a few minutes. But its great that you guys are doing it. May be I might watch it on Wednesdays, which is off day for our team.
"All our build times"? Whose? Their team and yours? You can't possibly be speaking on behalf of all the other teams in FRC, could you? Our team meets Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. So as far as I know, OUR build times didn't coincide with theirs. And even if you are talking about any future casts this team may do, have you considered time zones?

Just an FYI, when I was watching the stream yesterday, a good 10-15 people were viewing it. While that's no CES viewership, it is quite a bit, considering "all our build times coincide with each other".

Lets say you want to bounce ideas off of another team or have a question that needs to be answered immediately well just type it in and we will discuss it live!
You might want to check out FRSee, too. It's a network of teams on Skype. It may prove to be very useful.
