FRC Slideshow: Every Robot

[Chris is me]

Probably not every robot, but I bet we could get a good 75%.

I think this would be difficult to do after the fact, but with some pre-planning and direct communication with teams, it could certainty be pulled off during the regional season.

Wow, even if every robot got only one second, the slide show would be 33 minutes long.

perfect

Sounds like a great idea to me. Teams take pictures of every team at their regional for scouting purposes. We probably have every team from both KC and 10,000 Lakes.

This would be a fun video to watch in the dead time before kick-off next year. If you produce the video, maybe you can talk FIRST into playing it.

This would be really cool to do, a good place for most Michigan teams is Dan Ernst. Here

It is a great idea. I have most from Midwest and would love to help out! I wouldn't mind .3-.5 seconds per bot. This way, you get a decent look at each bot, while still being able to keep the video to a decent length. (And I agree, it would be a great addition to FRC Designs).

PS- I think it can be done...

I think that a slideshow for this year could probably happen with all the scouting databases out there. I know our scouting team tries to get pictures of every robot at each regional we go to.

[MattC9]

Great idea, so there's ~60 events in the regular season before champs. So we would need to get at least 1 person from each event to take a picture of EVERY robot there, then just send there files to you (or who ever wants to take the files in) done.

We could try to do one this year but it will be better to try to do this during competition season. We could try to use TBA and get website links for teams and dig for photos but that would be the hard way.

This is a fantastic idea! Team 1515 would love to contribute!
I can send you a .zip of all LA Regional robots.
These came from our scouting data this year. We never actually used the images, but I have them on my computer regardless.

If this ever does happen, please email me at msimon@msedesign.net

I may be able to get ahold of pictures of the robots from the Israel (IL) Regional, so if I do so, I will post again.
