Trouble submitting Safety Animation to FIRST

[nzamorski]

We finally got ours to upload. One of our mentors was able to use his connection at work to upload the file to the FIRST site.

Looks like having sufficient bandwidth on our end was enough to make it work. Our file size was about 140mb and took approximately 10 mins to upload.

This just in from FIRST (see copy of email below). The deadline was extended one day because of the problems and the timeout has been changed. Looks like it is now working. Also, there appears to be a size limit so I would suggest AVI format instead of MOV. Keep file size below 150 meg.



Hello Dave!

Thank you for your email – yes the timing on the STIMS website we are finding is not long enough to upload the Safety Animation Videos from teams. Please advise that we are working on extending the system time-out and teams do have until 12pm Eastern Time tomorrow December 7, 2010 to submit their Safety Animation Videos.



Please let us know if you have any further questions!
