[TBA] Video Coverage of Winter War Zone Scrimmage

[Joe Matt]

Very nice Greg. Great to see some matches pre-ship! Keep up the good work!

[Mr MOE]

Awesome job! Great to finally see video action of this game. Thanks for all your hard work to put this together.

[Pat Arnold]

Excellent video and music! Great getting a peak at other teams' robots in action. Definately looks like effective ramp or lifter bots will be in demand.

[Ian Curtis]

Greg... WHY?!?!?!????????

Those songs should have stayed unheard. (I got a rude awakening the other day when the other one came up on my iPod.)

Nice video though.

[MChapman]

Nice video though.

I really like the song....who wrote it..how do I get a copy of it? Can I use it in a video to present to our school board???????? How do I get it on my ipod?

Looks good. 237 was planning on competing there this weekend, but decided to stay at home and work on our autonomous mode instead.

Thanks for the videos. Question, what's up with the slow-mo voices? I downloaded the AVIs and the guy talking and the music don't match the video. The people and robots seem to be moving at normal speed.

I might have messed up an encoding setting, I'll take a look at it later. I was rushed last night.

If you want it, the link for download from the FIRST site is down, but I have both of them just send me a PM.
And if anyone tries to pull the whole "RIAA copyright" card on me I will state that it was available for download free at one time, and can thus be freely distributed in the future.

Not that they should, but they can.

I have the two songs up on Team 228's website. Here are the direct links: (Right click and hit "Save Link/Target As")

To get them onto your iPod, when you download the song just click and drag it into the main iTunes window when your iPod is connected. (You may have to click the Sync button to download it.)

And yes, I have written permission from FIRST to host these songs.

I have fixed the audio encoding issues with the final matches. They should all now have audio playing at proper speeds (and are slightly smaller, to boot!)

[Chris Marra]

As usual, an awesome Blue Alliance episode, even if it were only a recap. It would be really nice to have some of you or Tom's commentary about the level of play at a competition.

I hope sometime in the future you guys can do some kind of coverage maybe with a desk, Sportscenter styled, next to the field at a regional, and in New England during week 3 maybe...?

I'll say this: as a team that didn't have the manpower to build a rack, TBA saved our butts. By showing how tubes and end effectors worked in the game, we were able to make a lot of decisions that would've taken a lot longer without that footage. We actually sort of have a robot that can score on this thing!
