Thanks for the link I will be sure to watch! Any teams that I should look for?

Watch for 38 VEXellent! We can't wait to compete.

Does anyone have a schedule? In particular, does anyone know when the elimination rounds will be?

This is the most international Robotics competition I've ever seen. Props to IFI for going around the world to bring countries to a very diverse robotics competition.

Here is a team list of Championship

I'm watching the opening ceremonies on the Webcast. Very professional looking so far. The flags of all those countries are an impressive display -- sort of like looking at the FLL world festival.

The Webcast quality is excellent. I wish all the FIRST Webcasts looked this good.

I'm watching right now--looks pretty awesome. Only kink thus far was a bit of a sound misfire on Karthik's announcing (in that the music was cranked up to the point of drowning him out).

Keep it hot out there in California!

[Rick TYler]

I love the way they put the fields up at waist-level. It would be much easier to see than floor-level fields. Let's steal it for FTC next year...

[Dave Flowerday]

I'm really impressed by how professional this event looks, with the raised platforms and changing colors beneath, and how fast they're moving from match to match. Very little downtime - that really keeps the viewer's interest.

I thought so too and text messaged someone.

They answered.
Is it any better?

I'm watching Q23 right now (which should be on Karthik's field unless I missed something), and it's only a hair better than it was; Eiffel 65 is still dominating my speakers.

Thanks NASA (Mark Leon especially)!
