DC regional broadcast on NASA TV

[Elgin Clock]

Same problem here with the DC webcast, although... I wonder how many channels NASA has, since the NJ regional is also being webcast here via NASA:

Or supposed to be anyways, but it seems it hasn't started yet.

I am in Blacksburg trying to watch my team, 836 Robobees. Although it is practice matches today, I would have liked to know it was working for tomorrow mornings qualifying rounds

Awesome!

(Then again, I would have liked to go to DC but I will probably just end up in NJ or NH this weekend instead.
I still haven't decided which one I'm going to yet, but I may not even be able to see the webcast anyways with the traveling involved.)
Oh wells.

I am leaving Windsor Locks at 1pm with a stop in New York on the way.

Still having issues apparently, mine just keeps trying to load on a blank screen. I assume someone will post if/when it gets fixed?

Great news! Thanks to our brilliant friends at NASA the webcast is fixed. Reload the link (http://robotics.nasa.gov/events/2009_dc_webcast.php) and the webcast link works now. You can also open it in quicktime, which allows you to make the picture larger (I assume you can do this in Media Player as well).

Awesome!!!

It works in Windows Media and VLC as well...this is great news as I have class tomorrow morning, so I will miss the opening and early morning

So the webcast link is down again this morning. Hopefully it is up shortly, if nothing else the NASA Channel at 1P will work

Webcast is back up.

I wish I could see more of the field. I'm getting too many close up shots of robots. It's hard to see what that game is really like when you only see 1/4 of the field at once...

[tim-tim]

I agree ^^

I would rather have a camera angle that I could see the entire field, similar to other events. All you see is an upclose shot of a robot, and the rest of the field and other robots are pretty much unseen

[Sunbun]

Since they're piping in the arena video feed, I don't think anyone will be seeing the whole field... after all, people in the arena can see the whole field already, that would be redundant.

(Sadly)

Other regionals have a full field webcast. That is the angle we want, as if we were there

SCORE! watching it right now
