Not listed by NASA yet and I have not seen it posted elsewhere, but there will be a webcast of the Colorado Regional. It can be found at:

The Team Titanium 1986 Website

The Colorado FIRST Website

or on Ustream

Unfortunately this is my first year not attending the Colorado Regional but I'm pretty sure I know what you're asking.
It's this balcony type area that is strictly for scouting only. There should be tables and chairs. When you get to Magness (inside Ritchie Center), You'll see a huge banner(made by me ) that says "Team Scouting". It's a nice place to meet the other scouting sub-teams of other teams as well. It's the perfect place to watch all the matches.

Thank you so much! I can't wait to see it! Scouting at lonestar was difficult unless you were the first teams that claimed the center seats and even then with the dancing and such scouting becomes... rather tasking.

You're welcome and good luck at Colorado. It's a really nice community and I hope the Colorado teams give you guys a good Colorado Welcome.
Especially get to know the Volunteer Coordinator, Fran Reichart, she's an awesome lady and she's also the VC for Newton at FWC. She's a mentor of 662 but she's like everyone's mom at the regional. We love her, lol.

Excellent! I’m glad to see there will be a webcast since i will not be able to attend . I can only hope the streaming stays more zoomed out so that viewers can follow the match and watch the team/teams they have interest in.

Web stream watchers are often frustrated by the camera work because the video being fed is the event video from the arena, and it is designed to highlight what is going on for those that are there, not cover it for those that aren't. It can be frustrating when you are hoping to see one particular team at all times, but it is at least MUCH better than no webcast at all.

Thanks for letting us know this is here, I'm not sure my parents are going to be able to attend this year so its nice that I can point them here instead.

Also I will second that you should talk to Fran, I've been volunteering as a robot inspector for the last 3 years and she has been amazing.

Is everyone ready for the real show to start?
