Congratulations on the Judge's Award and on seeding in the top third at Manchester. No match results are up on the FIRST site; how did your team fare in the eliminations?

Thanks

We are actually flying. So... yeah. About 4 hours between when we leave and land. There's a layover in Detroit.

And we weren't in the top 3. 1st was 501, 2nd was 175, and 3rd was 1519.

And... we weren't picked for the eliminations... we were, however, the alternate and got some nice seats in front of the field

It will also be nice seeing teams that we saw in Cleveland two years ago. I specifically remember 135 and 931.

Does anyone have any plans of broadcasting / webcasting the event?

The regional will be webcast, providing that Greg and I can get it set up tomorrow.

KK is on the way from my hotel. I'll be in bright and early, with a couple of boxes. FIRST come, first served.

Watch out for the St. Louis teams this year.

I'm leaving Michigan after work so I can be there for opening ceremonies tomorrow! I’m sooo excited!

[Greg McCoy]

The webcast is up!

Open up that URL in Windows Media Player. If you are using an older version of Media Player, you might have to use http://video.first.purdue.edu:80.

Let me know how it looks

Well first off thanks for getting it up... I like the different angle of your shot... but... video quality is only fair, setting kinda bright, hard to see anything without opening the control panel and and turning the brightness down.
Sound slightly muddled too.
I'm sure there will be many complaints about not looking at the field from the 50 yard line (middle point). I actually kinda like seeing the field from behind the operators point of view.

Now the sponsors logos.... grrrr. I know, I know they paying the bills but still... grrr. Thank you sponsors and Greg for making this happen.

Good luck to all there.

PS this what it looked like after adjusting for brightness...

[Greg McCoy]

This is the same video feed that's going up on the main screen...expect more action shots tomorrow.

[Protronie]

So how are the teams doing with inspections and last minute builds/repairs?
Got things to do tomorrow so I'll miss most of the action, sat not looking so great either

[Ed Coleman]

I woke up this morning and thought to myself, "Wow, I really get to wake up and go to another regional. Isn't this awesome?" I would say people who don't get involved in FIRST just don't know what they are missing. But that is ok because we know. Hope everyone is ready for another rockin' day at Purdue. See you all there.

I'll admit to being in mental fog and being very focussed on getting our robot running better, but here's a quick report for those not here... (I can't believe nobody else has posted.)

There's a large range of readiness and operability and a lot going on in almost everyone's pit area. There are some impressive teams and a lot of energy here. Most teams are happy with how things are going. From the reports of our scouting team, I'd say this will be a step up from what I saw in Arizona last week, if for no better reason than there are a few more teams (including BOB ).

Good luck to all the teams today. Let's have some fun!

Thanks Mark... glad someone remember us stuck at home
I'll be watching as much as I can.

Hey Greg, webcast pics a lot better today... still a tad too bright but with a slight adjustment on my end it looks good.
Thanks again for doing the webcast!
