[FRCGameSense] Introducing GameSense - Let's Talk Robots!

[Nathan Streeter]

I'll tune in when I can (I have a non-FRC commitment every Wednesday evening)... Looks like a really cool idea!

[Sparkyshires]

looks sweet! I'll be tuning in.

[Anupam Goli]

Definitely going to be tuning in to this on wednesday nights! More than anything else, I love strategy talk and match analysis.

Sounds really cool. Keep in mind that some of the "upgrades" () Twitch made over the last couple months introduce a 20-35 second delay to the viewers, so if the Q&A section was meant to be live and not pre-gathered, it might cause an issue.

[Michael Corsetto]

This looks great Evan!

Can one topic be "How to win a week one event?" Does anybody really know?

A pretty stacked analysis team with many years of FRC experience. Should be fun!

We have our team meeting during the live broadcast, but I will be taking notes on the drive down to IE on Thursday!

We are aware of the twitch issue, we've been doing tech tests for the past few weeks making sure all of our overlays and audio works properly. That is the reasoning behind taking Q&A from twitter and email rather than the chat.

We'll take any questions that get sent in during the week before each show, so you can send in questions now. Like us on FB, share it with your friends, tweet at us, email us and start sending questions in!

Twitch is also more heavily blocked than ustream or youtube at schools, so it'd be really nice to switch to something else down the road.

This is a pretty awesome idea and I'll definitely be tuning in as our team's strategy mentor.

[AllenGregoryIV]

I'll be tuning in, I can never get enough strategy talk. This should be a very good year for this as well. I'm betting a lot of different strategies and alliance structures will win events this year.

We have researched many different sites and ways to stream and landed on Twitch.tv as the best choice for GameSense at this time. However, we are aware of and understand your concerns, and will continue to explore our options. The show will be streamed live from 5pm PT to 6pm PT and will automatically be uploaded to Twitch and YouTube at the conclusion of the show. Also, the Q&A portion is intentionally not taken from the live chat to promote community involvement even if you are not able to watch the show while it is live.

We appreciate your feedback, community involvement is very important to us!

Also, Francis.

As a fellow strategist, I will definitely be tuning in and will try to get some members of my team to watch too.

Here's a question, "Will Francis being wearing his bear costume?"
