Have to echo an earlier comment - this venue for CIR is great. My 9th year as a parent/mentor and this is by far the best arena for FRC I've seen. Comfortable seats with drink holders, large mezzanine with tables and chairs in the arena, multiple large viewing screens with crystal clear displays. Glad we were able to attend this year. Kudos for the organizing committee for their work.

I'd like to take an opportunity to thank our alliance partners, 3528 Up Next and 4212 Techno Ferrets.

3528, you guys blew away even our highest expectations. Your team carried the brunt of both breaches and captures. Even though we didn't receive bonus points in all of our matches together, without you there it would have never been a possibility.

4212, you played some of the best defense I've seen. Yet again, we couldn't have asked for more. You single-handedly shut down the scoring potential of our opponents in every match. I only wish we could have played more matches together.

We had a great weekend, thank you all for such a great time. I hope we can see you all again next year!

-Aaron Kirch, Team 1625

Also curious how you're combining the video streams together to output them onto UStream. Always interested in other setups so we can improve ours The home viewer experience for CIL is fantastic right now.

A couple of things I will add about the webcast setup. We had one of the USB3HDCAP USB 3.0 Video Capture Devices connected to a laptop running Open Broadcaster. If you are wanting to use this device, please make sure to read all the documentation on the website before purchasing. This device will only work with USB 3.0 and is not capitable with ASmedia or Etron USB 3.0 controllers. I also have found that it can be really finicky to get working correctly. When you are lucky, it is possible to have two of them connected to the same computer. At CIR we had a high def feed via HDMI coming from the AV crew per our request. We also requested the full field view with score overlay during matches and for the most part they stuck to it.
