WGIR will be web-broadcasting play-by-play of the BAE GSR finals on Saturday! More information can be found here: http://www.baesystemsfirst.org/regional/

Any Practice Day webcasts going on?

[Mr MOE]

In addition to the webcasts, will NASA TV be broadcasting any FIRST regional events this weekend?

Found via Wildstang's website:
http://www.midwestfirst.org/live.php

Probably starts tomorrow.

New Jersey is up on NASA's page.

Midwest isn't up yet, but has the link:

Jersey is coming through perfectly

I keep having some odd episodes on the NJ webcast where it goes fully green for 1-5 seconds at a time.

Sounds like it's just the feed. I keep getting the green screen every now and then, too.

Thanks for the New Jersey link, really nice quality!

BTW, I think that the green screen is caused by the fact that the other cameras are not set up yet, and when the AV crew switches to another view (as they will during the actual matches) it just shows a green screen.

Thanks for the webcast! It's a good way to spend time @ school =D

Good luck to all teams!

[Chris Marra]

The green screen is merely a chromakeying issue. The AV Crew is probably not bothering to set everything up perfectly for today, so when they switch from the ball randomizer (a full screen computer generated image), to the score display (a lower third computer generated image), they are probably manually invoking the keying instead of automatically.

That, or they're watching Star Wars like they were last year :-p

[Lil' Lavery]

Are the team numbers on the bottom of the screen (scoring display) correct? A bot labeled as 1089 didn't look much like 1089 (looked a lot more like 25 to me).
