Introducing MadStream -- Webcast Portal for FRC

[Eugene Fang]

MadStream will be making its debut this coming weekend at the 2011 CalGames Offseason Competition!

As part of a goal to further promote FIRST and bring it into the public eye by webcasting more events throughout the season, FRC Team 1323 designed MadStream to be the one-stop go-to place for regional and off-season webcasts. In addition to an aggregation of webcasts, MadStream will also provide a live score feed pulled directly from @FRCFMS on Twitter and an embedded official FIRST score/ranking/awards page (like this one) for live official FIRST events. Offseason events can coordinate with us to provide these features.

We'll be releasing a whitepaper on setting up webcasts (and maybe archiving) before the 2012 regionals begin.
Let's make 2012 the year of improved webcasts (on MadStream) and archives (at The Blue Alliance)!

Feedback and comments are highly encouraged. Let us know what new features you think should be implemented so we can make the best site possible.
