Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage Pre-Season Event

[Teammax]

The Suffield Shakedown is a great way to get a feel for the game. It is nice to see other scrimmages pop up over the years in other areas. When we first started we would always try and bring 2 robots, our real robot and the previos year's robot with some 'fittings'. Now the Shakedown has gotten too big for this (which is a good thing) but we always make sure we are there with our robot

I would encourage teams to send members to the scrimmage even if their robot is not competing. I have no data to support this but I think teams that go to the scrimmage have an advantage over teams that do not when the regionals start.

Have the event organizers decided on network settings for the FMS? We'd like to have our robot set up to work on the field Friday night before we leave.

According to this document all we should need is the SSID/password of the network.

Thanks.

At suffield we will be running the Regional version of FMS, not FMS Light. So you get the full treatment

With that said, just show up to the event with your system configured I/A with FIRST FRC's Configuration Guide. At the event you will recieve further instruction on any additional configuration you have to do, it's quick and painless.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the scrimmage on Saturday... and to meeting some new people!

Sorry the link at the beginning of the thread sends you to the team's old website.

Here's a direct link to the team list.

I do not think you will be able to do this.

***NEW***
We will be holding a NEMO (Non-Engineering Mentor Organization) meeting at 1:15 p.m. in a classroom TBD (check with the check-in table or listen for announcements) at the Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage tomorrow! Please encourage your mentors who deal with the non-technical side of the team to attend. It will be an open discussion on whatever non-engineering topics are of concern to you this season. Open to all adult mentors from all FIRST program teams!

Just curious. Does the stream play for a while and then die for anyone else? If I restart it works fine for a while and then stops again. Not complaining I'm just trying to troubleshoot and see if maybe it is my side.

Thanks!

DO NOT USE ANY POSTED LINKs- GO TO www.shsrobotics.org like directed.

There is a link there that manages Load Sharing on the servers. If you connected elsewhere we cannot manage the servers properly.

There is an ASX file that points to a Playlist. That will mannage the connections to the servers.

Please use windows media player. All other players are not reliable for streaming live windows media feeds.

IF you have trouble with link:
Copy the Link (in IE this is done with Copy Shortcut)
Then open WinMedia Player
Go to FILE -> OPEN URL -> CTRL+V (pastes link from clipboard)

Enjoy
