well, somebody had to be first

Let me tell you - a picture really is worth a thousand words. It can sum up a lot of ideas that take forever to explain through jestures.

Bingo. This is the why 108 has digitized the FIRST Video Feed for the past 3 years. Nothing beats seeing what happened, although sometimes the camera isn't focused on a particular robot, or is not zoomed in enough. 108 can support IL and EPCOT (but only 3 of the 5 stages). We're asking 267 to aid in KSC, and Tom from 177 is checking if they can support UTC. 111 can help with GLR and I need to call Andy B (45) about help in OHIO. So, potentially 5 regionals + National could be covered at present time.

108 is developing a guide to recording video at the events and would love to have some video from every regional. Hard drive space won't be an issue for our website...at least that what our contract says. p.s. Hope you have a Macintosh with Video-In Please, serious inqueries only. Thanks.

is there some way that "we" could collect at least one picture of every robot before the first competition?

SOAP has no plans to capture photos, but I know WASH had it in their setup to print a picture of the team along with their scouting report. Can you provide more technical details on the camera attachments for the visors?
Also, since the onset of alliances, teams generally post pix of their robot by week 5. This Chief site has an image storage area, so I'd try to put out the word to centralize the photo gallery here...?

Thx,
