Any possibility of offering (even a really low quality) windows media version of the match vids?

I just have to crank them through Adobe Premere I suppose.
Any in particular you're most interested in?
I don't have a lot of spare time, since we're getting ready to visit you guys in Hartford on Thursday.

P.S. According to Premere it's going to take 2 hours to convert just one of the full resolution Finals videos. I'll try one of the low-res files first (~20 mins).

PPS: That's odd, I cannot seem to view wmv files. As a test I also downloaded other peoples posted wmv videos and I only get a black screen with audio.

I should have it... and now that i have a match number it'll be easier to find.. let me look now... *endless FF* ooo there's the part where they tried to shove us on our ramp.. and we ended up flipping them back wards... and here's a bunch of important people talking..... *ff more* well, it's the end of the tape.. next tape! haha.

wow. match 67 is harder to find than i thought... FIRST should think about putting a giant "MATCH: #" on the screen before each match, it would make this a lot easier and quicker.


hmm... can anyone give me a guess on how much time was before match 67 and the alliance picking?

thanks.


edit:
I found the match where they're waving our flag George, is 67 before or after that?

Thanks for posting the videos! Of one concern I saw the video of 25 pushing SPIKE(293) over! SF 1-1 My goodness I am surprised they did not get a penalty! In the video 293 and 25 are fighting each other, 25 almost tips over during the pushing fight, but 293 backs off and lets them balance, but it appears that 293 moved back so quickly that 293 tipped up and 25 drove under them. Then from the video it looks like 25 does not back off and let 293 balance, but they continue to drive forward and push 293 over! They were under 293 for a good 3 seconds why did they not back off and let 293 balance like 293 did when 25 was tipped? Not very nice in my opinion..

Personally I think 293 blew and should have finished them off quickly. You don't let a robot like that off the hook.

Matches 61 - 84 were played on Saturday before lunch (with 55-60 leftover from Friday played prior to opening ceremonies). Hope that helps ...

Excuse me???? Are you suggesting that we play dirty and push 25 over, thats not very GP at all...

Are you kidding me?
Have you ever noticed that the play gets more physical in the tourney? It was that way in Stack Attack. It was that way in FIRST Frenzy: Raising the Bar and it was that way last year.
You cannot be that naive to think that people are going to just back up and leave you alone especially Raider Robotics. You want to label them Graciously Unprofessional? Go ahead, it's a free country but I guess the refs didn't see it that way and their opinions the one that counts!

I believe the alliance picking was done shortly after the last Q match, but not sure as all of us referees were grabbing a quick lunch while we had the chance, and going over the timeout and robot substitution rules (and some other stuff to watch for) before the elimination matches started.

ahh okay. thanks very much! i'll see if i can't find it.

Lemme think...if opening ceremonies were at nine and after that we started with match 61...I'd say look around 10-11 am, that should give you a scope hopefully
