2008 Boilermaker Regional

[xxpingphuongxx]

hehe! It was only two seconds left really? I was too busy looking at our robot to noticed the time, but yeah I was in completed shocked when it happened. I was screaming like "Wait, did Germo really do that? Did we really do that?" Our team was shocked. But I have to give props to our field crew (James & Steve) that was just awesome what they did!
Gald to hear everyone loved that shot.

It's by far the easiest and fastest way to distribute large files (save an FTP, but those things get expensive).

Agreed, however, if we are talking about 1G+ files, its gonna take a few good seeders before we get that rolling..

It'll be a little while (hour or so) before they show up on YouTube, but here's the naming convention.

When you search youtube, all the videos use the tag "BMR08", so put that in your search first.

After a space, pick what video part you want to watch. There are four sections (the four discs). These are "friam", "fripm", "satam", "satpm" for friday morning, friday afternoon (aka friday disc 2), saturday morning, saturday afternoon (aka saturday disc 2).

After another space, pick which of the clips you want to watch from that disc. They are two-digit, the first video for a section would be "01".

For example, if I wanted to find the first video of the day for friday I would search:

"BMR08 friam 01"

Again, the first half hour is uploading now. Some of the first half hour is pretty pointless friday since for part of it no teams were even in the room and there is no audio, but I know that sections 2 and three from friday morning have the opening thing with the Purdue choo choo (yes, choo choo ) and all.

Hope this all works...

I too have 4 or 5 dvds of boilermaker. I will put the files (4GB at a time) onto firstvideoarchive.com then I will spend the next couple days splitting them up into the individual matches. Between work and other projects probably done by Thursday.

Yeah I know, so much so, I wasted the last few seconds of the match thinking it was over you all made so much noise.

On the videos, they will continue to appear on youtube on my channel throughout the night. There's about two hours or so of video in que at work, not sure how long it will take for them all to upload.

I'll put more in the upload que after theyre done tomorrow afternoon (or this afternoon, whatever).

Enjoy,

q

p.s. Thanks for the photos Ryan!

EDIT: 17 videos are now online. I think we may have had a power outage at work so for now the upload process is stalled. I may not have them all online before I leave for cleveland, but I'll see what I can do.

Qbranch, thanks for the video. I couldn't wait to see that shot by 931 again. Too cool! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Di7REZMePw

It really all depends on upload speed. Three or more seeders with a decent upload speed can jumpstart any torrent.

It appears that soap has all the videos up now..

Thanks to Team 108 for getting the videos up!

[Qbranch]

Well, since I already went through the trouble to rip them, I'm going to go ahead and upload all of the tapes anyhow, just in case anyone wants to see things not in the matches necessarily.

Thanks 108,

I have a few hours worth uploaded so far... maybe you can find it. Not sure when all the video will be up by, but just for fun, still going to upload it.

EDIT/UPDATE: Something has gone horribly wrong with my YouTube bulk uploader. So... what you see is what you have till after cleveland.

[Ryan Dognaux]

I still think it's pretty cool that basically the entire regional is being uploaded to Youtube, major props to Qbranch and 1024.

[Jessica Stidham]

I've looked all through the uploaded videos on youtube and still can't find the mascot dance. I also can't remember if it was before or after lunch. Has anyone else found a good video of it yet?
