I think that scoring 175 is a really good idea. Lets wait 'till after 2:00 on friday to do this, so I can take a picture. (PS when our alliance scored the highest score at BAE it was 97)

It's a nice regional and we saw some very nice robots. The IFI guys have been doing a great job with the field and I've been getting a lot of pictures.

Speaking of...
...more people need to find their favorite FIRSTcast host and getting a picture with me, so I can win the contest. For more details listen to episode 7 of FIRSTcast.

Also, on Saturday afternoon in the pit area we're going to be performing a live FIRSTcast show!

We saw some great teams out there on the field and we can't wait for competition day!

I asked Kathie K. about this at the end of the day and without going through the details they have all the bleachers they could get. Please don't make an issue of it they did a lot work to get what the have. Maybe some chairs could be added at the end of on the ground if fire laws and regulations allow.

Matt, you took off before you got pictures with several of us. Try and catch us tommorrow.

If you hadn't figured it out from seeing it today the special display I eluded to was the Hyundai Santa Fe Fuel Cell car we have on display. We will have engineers from UTC Power with it most of the day to answer questions.

We did notice at one point that one of the corner goals (the right-hand blue one) had lost its calibration and was counting up all on its own. Other than that, the scoring system was working extremely well *knock on wood*.

I was human player for one round when our bot was being repaired and the score at the end of the match was 2222 for our team. That was the only scoring error i saw. Also, live feed was not working too well, but that doesnt really matter when you are in the middle of a match. As a rookie team member at my first event, i had a great time, the little glitches meaning nothing.

Think I can get a group shot with your whole team?

Which teams provided the practice equipment? (Fields, lights, etc)

Hey. I found you first...

[Elgin Clock]

Anyone else having trouble viewing the webcast? I get no video, and the title still says UTC Scrimmage.

[Ian Curtis]

Mine still says scrimmage, but I have the video feed.

Some of the robots I've seen in the past two matches are sweet. 195, I <3 your autonomous mode, but it doesn't seem that dynamic... Gus, what happened to your shooter? Rather amusing... Trying to get up the ramp and losing your shoooter.

EDIT: As of 1.27 PM the server is full...

I finally got an error message after going crazy as to why there was no video:

Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the server is not responding. If you entered a URL or path to play the file, verify that it is correct. If you clicked a link to play the file, the link may not be valid

Is this a problem on my end, or are their too many users on?
I used the http://159.247.235.150/channel_230_300 directly and got that.

I get to the webcast without any problems with that link. Though it's only the FIRST logo right now since it's the lunch break.

[MrBamboo]

i get the error message too :-/

[Mike]

Gah! Now it shows the video for 2-3 seconds and goes to "Waiting..."

[Bharat Nain]

Doesn't even start the video for me in IE or Firefox.

[henryBsick]

I am on IE at my school with a shared T1 hittin' a blank for any video content. I get the same error message as Elgin
