2015 Arkansas Rock City Regional

[GarrettF2395]

Sorry to hijack this thread for a minute with a technical question, but I just got word back from our trailer crew who took everything to little rock last night.
It seems that we've had a leak in our trailer and we had water accumulate in our laptop crate. We have backups of production code, but we're worried it will be difficult to get running on a different laptop should it come to that.
Does anyone know if LabView hardcodes absolute paths into the project files?

1. What do you mean by stream from the field? Are you allowing driver stations to have a stream running?

2. Will you be recording individual matches and archiving them for The Blue Alliance?

3. Will it be multiple camera or full field view?

Hey Allen,

1. This is the feed that will be coming from the production team. It will include the field camera feeds, score overlay, etc. This is just your standard feed that you always see on webcasts.

2. As of right now, we plan on recording and archiving for scouting purposes. This is the plan. We want to have them up with as small a delay as possible, this will depend on the internet capabilities that we will be presented with at the regional. If this isn't possible, then we will upload them that night.

3. I will have to talk with Meredith to see what see worked out with the production team.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

If at all possible during matches the full field view is going to be far better for this game. The multi-camera angles won't add much since there are going to be totes obstructing much of the field. I'm also always a proponent of single camera full field streams so I may be a bit bias.

We typically just have a standard single camera setup. That will by manned during the ceremonies and set during the event to the full field. Put I hope to get you the official answer.

I'm all about the full field as well. If we only had one camera, that would be it.

The roaming camera is more for the spectators on-site.

I will be attending with my team, I can provide you direct access to upload video to WatchFIRSTNow's Vimeo account and archive. Let me know if you are interested.

Just wanted to wish everyone safe travels tomorrow! We're planning on leaving early just in case we run into any ice or snow on the way down. Crazy weather this time of year!

I'm getting super excited to see all the great teams. Week one proved to me that this game is actually fun to watch. We are also leaving early just in case.

Everybody traveling, especially from the north, be safe, take your time, and leave early if you can. Arkansas roads can be unpredictable in this kind of weather... mostly because we don't get a lot of it, especially in the central part of the state.

Both. One full field, one roaming.

I really wish we were going again. So many teams that we're close with go, and we were there both inaugural and last year. And so many great memories! Good luck to all of the teams going!!

[pwnageNick]

Is anyone else having serious problems with the webcast? My audio has some serious feedback sounds on top drowning things out and the video keeps getting dark or dissapesring all together.

[nickPwnage]

I have similar issues Nick. The resolution is also low enough that I can't read the team numbers on the score board :/

EDIT: I'v stopped having audio issues, but the picture still sucks
