2012 Smoky Mountains Regional - Knoxville, TN

[ttldomination]

The stream is 'up' right now.

Is anyone else not seeing any video? I can hear the competition sounds, but see nothing.

I can see the video but it looks like a stop motion video and only half of the field.

Posting from the event.
The half field of view is what is being broadcasted on the big screen right now so I'm sure it will change when something of interest actually starts. They used to have a camera guy above the bleaches that face the broad side of the field, but he isn't on his platform anymore. I assume he will come back later though, as the camera that is currently broadcasting is on the scaffolding that is above the field (not a good view).

Not too much else going on here, just a lot of teams getting ready.

I think they've gone to lunch and have switched the feed over to the practice field for the time being.

I do hope the quality gets better. It's going to be a long regional if this 'stop motion video' continues.

The feed is there but they need to disable the screen saver on the stream computer.

It was working fine during lunch, and then it went back to screen saver during actual matches...

BC,

I am also sorry you didnt know! Blame Mr. Domkowsky... you should come to knoxville, 2856 is here with us! You might not know this but i worked with PLD 2 years ago when Andy Stevenson and Mr. Z Were involved, my team in Cincy - 1038 - lent you some VEX kits for prototyping... come over and enjoy the fun!

[torihoelscher]

will there be a podcast?

[cziggy343]

any chance that someone can fix the webcast? just in case the team providing it happens to be able to read this...

[moler]

agreed! hopefully the webcast is fixed soon!

[Dave Campbell]

Severe weather (tornado warning) running through Knoxville at the moment - hopefully everyone is safe and secure!

[Josh Drake]

Fast moving strong storms came through. About 7 teams in our hotel and no problem so far. There were some bad cells, so hopefully everyone else is safe.

Congratulations to your Smokey Mountians winners, captain 772, 234, and 3259! In addition, another congratulations is in order for 234, for their regional chairman's award!

[SpikeMcgrew772]

On behalf of Team 772, I would like to thank all of the volunteers, judges and referees for their time. We would like to say thank you for your hospitality. All teams performed well this weekend. We would especially like to thank our alliance partners, without you we would not have gone as far as we did. Congratulations to the regional finalists consisting of captain 2386, 1319 and 4264, you all put up a great fight at the end.
