2015 Arkansas Rock City Regional

[Meredith Novak]

This is a great opportunity. Thanks, Canada!

The venue has been closed for winter weather for days now - why no one has a parking map or team social flyer yet, but we are expecting 40-60 degrees next week.

40-50F... us Canadians will take those temperatures over -22 - -31F weather any day!!!

We certainly are!

Does anyone know if there will be a machine shop available at Rock City?

The last couple years, we have been at universities and have had to shuttle the parts to another building for machine work. Without a university this time, I'm wondering if we will be able to have a shop at the venue.

We can't until next week. This regional could be the stuff of legend.

The webcast for this regional will be hosted on Team 3937's USTREAM page. It will go live on Friday morning from open ceremonies through close as well as Saturday morning from opening to close. We will be running a beta test on Thursday after lunch for two hours to make sure the stream is consistent and audio levels are set. You will be able to see the stream from the field, but don't get upset if it drops from time to time on Thursday as we optimize the system so Friday and Saturday have no problems. Here is the link.
Thanks and we will be checking in the chat to make sure you have a good viewing experience of the 2015 Arkansas Rock City Regional.

I have a couple questions. First, thank you for setting this up.

1. What do you mean by stream from the field? Are you allowing driver stations to have a stream running?

2. Will you be recording individual matches and archiving them for The Blue Alliance?

3. Will it be multiple camera or full field view?

Just from a quick glance we have
16, 359, 418, 935, 1108, 1208. 1625, 1939, 1986, 2451, 2481, 3284, & 3937

That's a pretty stacked event if I have ever seen one, can't wait.

Pretty stacked. Pun game so strong. 4256 will be there as well!!

Just saw some of the videos. Honestly the turret was shocking; I just didn't expect it. Very cool looking robot, see you next week.

Hey Allen,

1. This is the feed that will be coming from the production team. It will include the field camera feeds, score overlay, etc. This is just your standard feed that you always see on webcasts.

2. As of right now, we plan on recording and archiving for scouting purposes. This is the plan. We want to have them up with as small a delay as possible, this will depend on the internet capabilities that we will be presented with at the regional. If this isn't possible, then we will upload them that night.

3. I will have to talk with Meredith to see what see worked out with the production team.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank You

If at all possible during matches the full field view is going to be far better for this game. The multi-camera angles won't add much since there are going to be totes obstructing much of the field. I'm also always a proponent of single camera full field streams so I may be a bit bias.

We typically just have a standard single camera setup. That will by manned during the ceremonies and set during the event to the full field. Put I hope to get you the official answer.

Both. One full field, one roaming.
