Thanks much - I realized that, once again, I had neglected [avoided] installing WMP. Those files were very helpful though!

Case in point: near the end of a match with the one team there that I know, they cut to the close-in rack camera. Of course, this caused me to totally miss rampings on both ends of the field.

In the match in question (practice 34 part 2), the rack only had 3 unscored legs, with a full field of robots. I think the best I'd seen in any regional I attended was 19, and that's been beaten already IN PRACTICE. Spoilers might finally be worth throwing out now.

Finally got the Galileo Webcast to work (Still no sound though)! I still don't know what the problem was though. Too bad I missed most of the first day.

I'm watching match 35 right now. Go 229!

Um, I've seen team 330 out on Curie for quite a few matches.
Isn't that not allowed?

On another note, I think I hear Sir Charles!

I know that 195 gave 330 their spot in the most recent match due to technical issues. I don’t know if it was a trade for another practice match time or what. I feel bad for my old team though, broke in their first match, and haven’t been able to show their stuff yet; oh well....it happens...

And yes...im happy to hear Sir Charles too!

Is there any particular reason why all of the matches are being played twice?

Just something that I noticed

Practice matches always have two games per practice match.

I think they just having first day jitters... I've often flipped over the feed being less than perfect on practice day... then learned that the folks doing the webcast usually are only operating with a skeleton crew. Usually by the end of the day they have the bugs out of the system and tomorrow everyone will be there.

Any one not getting anything from the REAL feeds?

Edit: Still no audio or video on the Curie REAL stream...

Edit: Poor audio and video on Curie WMP Stream too...

Err... no. It's opening ceremonies now on Einstein. Nothing is going on anywhere else >.>

I thought the webcats were bad yesterday morning....but they are worse today...

Edit: I just went through all the feeds. No REAL streams are working and the only quality WM stream is Newton.

I'm good with Curie. I like being able to see this close to the field. Yesterday I had to glue my face to the screen to see my team. I did see Trent, who I could tell because of how he walks, and I could see David because of his fro... but that's about it XD... Our bot has what seems to be a somewhat common design for hybrid ramp/scorer bots, so I needed to look hard yesterday to see where my team was.

All of the WM feeds buffer every five seconds for me, except for Newton.

REAL feed on Curie is up!
