Any possibility of a webcast?

So, volunteer Field Resetters are to meet in the school's weight room for training?

This is an excellent question and completely slipped our minds when planning this scrimmage.

Unfortunately, none of us on Chop Shop have any streaming experience nor do I believe we have anywhere close to the right equipment to provide a serviceable webcast. If we get some help, then it could happen, but it's rather unlikely that we, Chop Shop, will be able to set this up in short order.

Maybe contacting NE FIRST or FIRST HQ could make this possible.

Good news, everyone!

We have contacted both NE FIRST and GameSense. Francis O'Rourke and Ty Tremblay of GameSense quickly got back to us and we are working together to make a live stream of Week Zero possible!

There are still a few questions that we need answered from our host venue, but we are getting closer to having a webcast of Week Zero. More information will be supplied soon.

We're excited for the opportunity! The plan is to offer a single camera full field view that we'll stream on the GameSense Twitch channel.

If you have any questions, feel free to post here or PM me.

We are looking to use this to test our scouting system. Would it be possible for the match schedule to be posted online?

It should be available via the FRC API

And it should be available on TBA as well. Hooray for preseason dry runs!

@ all: What language do you use to access the FRC API?

TBA uses python.

I have the following bash function defined for local testing (using httpie):

function frc-api {
    AUTH=$(echo -n '<username>:<token> ' | base64)
    http $1 "Authorization: Basic ${AUTH}"
}
