2013 Lone Star Webcast

[lmedina]

So, like most of you I would not want to miss 57's unveil at Lone Star so I have traveled the dangerous and mysterious waters of the internet and have been granted permission by the almighty Lucia to run a webcast of the event.

The stream will be available on our website (www.robonauts.org)

Stayed tuned to see interviews of the teams attending, as well as a full view of the field during matches, and a few other surprises.

The stream will be live on Friday and Saturday. You may even get a glimpse of activities as we try and work all of the bugs out on Thursday.

I hope this means there's going to be a nice super wide angle GoPro somewhere watching the whole field. I think the only downside to that style of webcasting as that you lose the scoring overlay. But you gain getting to see everything that's happening instead of the shiny train wreck the event producer is focusing on.

It is happening to me as well. In those 10 seconds, it lags very bad as well.

Edit: Works now

Couldn't find a lone star thread, how did this happen? Did 118 die? (I didn't see) http://www.thebluealliance.com/match/2013txho_qm29

148 took a huge fall off of the third level in match 32. Anyone know if their bot is alright? What kind of damage was taken? etc.

[Sam390250]

I am definitely experiencing about a 10 second sound delay similar to what you are describing regardless of refreshing, making for a very interesting experience. *robot falls*...... 10 seconds go by.... "Oh man, what a fall!"

Will have to try the fixes you are describing.

Shooter took a lot of damage. They ran without it for a few matches while repairs were being made. They had it on and looking good again in the last few matches today.

Does anyone have video of 148's fall? I'm interested to see what happened.

If youve seen them climb you can imagine what happened. Its a really amazing climb though.

I think my reaction was stunned confusion and amazement when I saw a 150lb robot doing an olympic uneven bars routine on the FRC field.
