Re: Week 1 Event Notice - FIRST Robotics Canada

Hi everyone,

I must apologize for the inconstancy in the webcast today. It was not at all to the standards that we (WatchFirstNow) strive for.

With that said. This is week one, today was practice day, the broadcast equipment is less then 2 weeks old and I am 19 hours away at the palmetto regional. so please bear with us. Duncan and Mr. Lim are working hard to try and make sure everything stays up and running.

Matches from this event will be archived early next week.

Best of luck to everyone attending the event. And please enjoy the webcast tomorrow.

- Bochek

Re: Week 1 Event Notice - FIRST Robotics Canada

Since 2009 we go to watch match at GRTW to validate scouting and strategy. This year we rent 2 rooms for 2 nights and drive 8 hours to find out that we won't be able to enter the site to see matchs.

It has been a waste of time and money that we won't forget. it's unnacceptable that we were not advice in advance.

Re: Week 1 Event Notice - FIRST Robotics Canada

I'm not sure what else you would have liked from them. It was announced on CD and on FIRST Robotics Canada's website.

People have been commenting on how crescent school isn't really big enough since it was announced as a venue.

Also: since 2009, GTR (renamed to GTR West in 2011) has been the last FIRST regional of the season in Canada. I highly doubt you were using it to pilot strategies. In 2012, GTR East was formed in Oshawa as a Week 2 event (the first event of the year in Canada)

Does the webcast lag sometimes for anyone else?

Thanks

Re: Week 1 Event Notice - FIRST Robotics Canada

If your experiancing any lag on the webcast, try turning down the quality in the bottom right corner. we are broadcasting at full 720p and many internet connections can't handle that bandwidth.

I'm really sorry to hear that, from everything I've heard Crescent was a backup location after FIRST Canada was unable to secure the Hershey Center this year. But historically this event has been a 5th week event, I believe that this year is the first time we've ever had a first week event in Canada. FIRST Canada has been very forthcoming of the fire code restrictions at this event, its been posted on their website and here on CD in addition to email blasts. Obviously that doesn't help the fact that you've paid for hotel rooms and driven 8 hours to attend the event.

The good thing is that the webcasts are streaming great in HD today.

I was told by the FTA today that this is because the field didn't have an internet connection.

A problem I don't really understand, since the WFN streaming box pushing two 720p signals to the internet was literally sitting on the scoring table.

Re: Week 1 Event Notice - FIRST Robotics Canada

The FMS is extremely picky when it comes to internet connections for some reason. If it doesn't connect to the FRC main server thingy (which I think is new this year), it gets all unhappy.

Re: Week 1 Event Notice - FIRST Robotics Canada

My kingdom for an FRC field that just works every time, and an FRC game that refs can actually score correctly. I wish we could go back to the IFI radio days. I don't remember a single match held up by a communication issue that wasn't a forgotten radio cable or similar.

This game is one I actually don't blame the refs for their poor performance on. The game design makes it impossible for 4 refs plus 1 head ref to watch 6 robots, 6 human players, and 2-6 balls for the litany of fouls and still expect them to be able to score assists properly.
