VEX Robotics World Championship Webcast

11 is amazing. I'd also like top point out that team 24 is pretty impressive as well. They can score and descore very quickly, we were playing against them in our 3rd match when we scored all three black balls and almost filled up the rest of the bridge section with balls, we went to pick up a few more balls and when we got back all three black balls and about half the other balls were gone!


Also, is anyone archiving the webcast, I would like to watch some of our matches...

Ok so someone mentioned that they liked the fields being up high. The general consensus among drivers at the competition is that it is not helpful. We find it annoying that we have to duck and weave in order to get a slightly better view. Even then I still can't see what is going on in front of the robot. I'm almost 6' tall and I have trouble, now imagine how much trouble that people who are only 5' or 4' tall are having...

Is anyone besides me attempting to capture some of this video for posterity? We tried to record the FTC finals 2 weeks ago -- found that we could successfully capture what we were viewing, and set up for timer because the time difference meant than no one could be physically home to start the recording. Disappointingly, it didn't work, and was frustrating because we could have recorded it if we were only 1 time zone earlier and could have been at the computer during the finals.

Gone again yesterday, will return mid-late afternoon today. If we get to our home computer in time, we'll try to record the finals and will try to work with NASA on the legalities of showing the recording on YouTube.

Big IF, though. I'd hate to lose yet another fantastic opportunity due to heavy traffic or other unexpected mishaps.

If you've never recorded live feed before and want to give it a try, there's some helpful stuff at this link:

Don't ask me to explain it -- my son works the video magic.

Use VLC and tell it to save the network stream as an .asf.
