Ever Wonder What It Takes To Setup A Regional?

[mcf747]

Hi All,
As we approach the WPI District Event (March 12-14) I wanted to share a pretty cool time lapse video with everyone.

I am alumni of FIRST myself, Team 1515 MorTorq, and now attend WPI as a Robotic Engineering major. I am the Technical Director for the on campus production company (student run) called Lens & Lights. (http://lnl.wpi.edu/) We handle a wide variety of events on campus form a simple single microphone events for a campus club to the yearly Spring Concert or the WPI FIRST Robotics Event.

Last year we shot a 5 day time lapse to capture the set-up, event, and strike and let everyone see how it all comes together. It should be notes it was the first year WPI did a dual sided audience set-up and consequently our set-up changed drastically. Some of the back and forth you see in the videos is us developing the best method to tech this event.
We are capturing a time lapse of this year as well so stay tuned for an update with this years set-up.

If you have any questions please do ask. Enjoy!

Note: Field set-up Starts at 1:30 into the full event time-lapse. Its pretty cool.
