well there is the sat. finals broadcasted for one of the week 1 regionals. hopefully also be on the site?

You're right. It's only 531.5 miles and 8 hours, 10 minutes according to yahoo.maps. I'll consider it.

VCU is setup to at least record the event. It was working tonight durring setup. I have no other information if it will be webcast, NASA TV, or just recorded for later posting. I'll find out more tomorrow morning.

According to this, VCU may be broadcasted tomorrow. Stay tuned, I guess?

Just because it isn't going to be on the NASA channel dosen't mean NASA can't stream it. Its not like the link is going straight to a live NASA TV feed, if it were than I would question if its real or not.

I agree with Ryan, just stay tuned in to see.

the VCU regional has a webcast up, but its a bit choppy and pixelated. they've yet to run any practice rounds, though, so maybe it'll improve before they do.

[Swampdude]

Ahhhrrrgh. Stuck behind a firewall syndrome I guess.... I got around it last year though... hmmm..

[Jessica Boucher]

I've got the webcast up and running, and it looks great - but I'm coming from a limited T3 at school, so that may be the difference.

There's not much going on except trying to discern what is on the back & front of the volunteer shirts...and now it looks like teams are setting up on the field, so we shall see!

Around 10:25 they moved 6 bots on the field, the lack of audio and low quality are killing me though

There's audio. Turn up your speakers to hear the background music. Occasionally the announcer says 'Teams are you ready?' only to follow up with 'Stand down'. First week gremlins, eh?

For some reason the quality is going in and out for me. I'm on a typically-fast university connection here, dunno what's up. The link to the VCU broadcast for those of you wondering is here:

[Matt Reiland]

Not good, they are having major technical problems and haven't had a match start yet.

[Kevin Sevcik]

Choppiness you see is either due to lots of people starting to hit the NASA server, or more likely a glitchy connection between VCU and NASA.
