Having a hard time with the webcast. Not sure if it's my computer or if the link on the site isn't right. It's telling me "invalid address"

I have it working on Madstream (madstream.team1323.com) -- the stream is coming through Microsoft Silverlight so that might be the problem if you don't have it or the newest version.

I have the webcast working with VLC media player. I just copied the webcast link into the "network" tab under "url" and hit play.

Hello, not sure if I'm really posting this in the right thread, but I'm wondering where I could get ahold of the match schedule for boilermaker this year. I'd like to stream the competition and hope to catch a few matches with my former team (292!) but as I'm studying abroad in France it makes the timing a little difficult...so knowing the matches would really help! If someone could e-mail me with any information at mlauterb@indiana.edu that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I love the launch ramp style, it looks like once it's tuned it will just be dumping loads of balls in. I'm looking forward to seeing it in Milwaukee next weekend

Here is a video of one of our matches: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doBPT...ure=plpp_video

Don't want to de-rail this thread too much, but 67's 2006 robot was the initial inspiration for the shooter design. The high release point makes shooting from the fender easier while the center of gravity is still low (the deflector weighs less than a pound and a half), making balancing easy. For the first time, I think we have a robot that stands out in a crowd. Although we are pleased with our preformance at BMR, we haven't come close to the full potential of the robot.

You guys were great. You were one of three robots on our pick list and only lost out to 868 because they are our friends. You and 868 are going to rock their world next week in Wisconsin. I wish I could be there in person, but I'll have to watch you on webcast.

I saw one team use it. I think it was during the elimination rounds. Can't remember the number though.
