Can't say that I like this trend since watching webcasts has become a great virtual bonding experience in FIRST.

Thank you for providing videos, though. In the end, I guess having videos instantly available is better than getting a webcast but no archived matches afterwards.

[ttcole1254]

I don't think webcasts are going away anytime soon. The NASA live feed is still available as well as another one I believe. Our system is just something to complement the live feeds and to archive matches instantly for viewing anywhere.

This will be awesome for us at competition and for later day scouting.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the clarification!

I'm looking forward to it still. It's awesome that the regional committees are making an effort to provide videos.

Thank you for posting a link to The RoboShow youtube channel.

The live broadcast will be held at The RoboShow: Orlando website at

We'll have a set of six cameras mounted to the driver station on both sides that will show the drivers (expressions, reactions, etc.), and two camcorders mounted for a full field view with pan/tilt/zoom control from our control station. We'll also be taking in the NASA output as an input. Our cameras will be available to RoboShow I believe, but probably not at the same times, as we'll be independent on the output.

And Just to clarify a few things. There are basically three things going on here. NASA will be doing the Live webcast as they have done every year for the regional. This will be the standard webcast you see for most regionals. Then there is the Orlando Regional: On Demand, where they will be supplementing the NASA feed with other camera angles, editing matches and posting them within 30 minutes of each match for archival and replay purposes.
Then there is The RoboShow, where we are producing a sporting event-like level of coverage. There will be an approximately 15 minute (shorter or longer depending on materials each day) show produced thursday for "air" thursday night, another one for Friday, and then on Saturday we will be going Live just before eliminations to recap alliance selections and cover the eliminations, with on the field reporters, commentators in our booth, and packages that have been produced in the prior three days to run in between matches to give you complete coverage of the entire event.
All three projects are working together, pooling resources and helping each other out.
It's quite an undertaking, and hopefully the results will show that.

[synth3tk]

That sounds amazing! Please document how it goes and what you use (regarding the "sports" show). This could help others do the same thing in the future.

[ttcole1254]

Thank you Mr. Rudolph for the clarification.

[Denise Bohnsack]

Glad all parties are working together. Good luck to all.

WOW! You're really raising the bar for events. This is a great feature. The only thing better would be attending your fantastic event.
Thanks!

It will be nice for the scouts to have all this info so fast,BUT, i don't think you need much more then what they did at Kettering district. That was the best camera angle that i have ever seen for a whole field shot. The only problem was not getting the score posted.
