I'll be contacting the FIRST AZ rep if I don't hear back from anyone.

See you in Phoenix!

Don't believe that we are webcasting the regional this year.

The reason we were webcast last year was our Emcee Jeff Seaton, he works for NASA and was able to make it happen.

Will we have a local feed on the big screen? There is lots of help out there from teams that have webcast the local feed, or another camera, at other regionals using ustream.tv. I can even supply the equipment, even an internet connection, if there is none available at the Coliseum.

With the planning committee's approval I'd like to pursue this. Please contact me. I'll send you a message.

That is correct! You are NOT allowed to bring in your own internet connection to a venue.

We're working with Mr. Knight and the Regional Committee to get this worked out. I'll post any progress made as soon I as hear.

Good News, We've gotten the necessary permissions and I've setup a ustream show. There's not much there yet, but I'll add info to the page as a get time.

The Arizona Regional Planning Committee would like to thank Terry Jensen, Team 1828 (The Boxerbots) and the Vail School District for all their help and technical expertise in getting the Arizona Regional Webcast set up.

Here is the link once again, send it to all your supporters who weren't able to make the trip so they can cheer you on from home!

Also for all those traveling from out-of-state Temperatures should be in the low 70's and lots of sun.

Just so you know its supposed to be 7 degrees in boston tonight and its been snowing for the past week on and off...

Just curious...when will the webcast be starting? I know there's a time difference, I'm just wondering if they'll be showing practice matches today or not...

[s_forbes]

Arizona is next weekend, so I expect it'll take at least another week!

The Arizona regional isn't until next week.

[ALIBI]

If you are asking about AZ, sorry, if they do it will not be until at least next week. All this waiting for someone to go live is driving me crazy.

EDIT: WOW, it took me three minutes to log in and I got beat twice!

*feels stupid* Sorry about that! I blame being sick....
