You can find the webcast (starting tomorrow) at http://team102.frc

I have been told that it shouldn't matter if the 'www' is included or not.
Team 102 is hoping to get this up and running tomorrow!

If you have any questions, Team 102 is the team to ask!

I am not actually sure why the link is not working.
Ashley Marshall from Team 102 contacted me from Long Island and asked me to post that exact link for her on CD.
Other than what she told me, I don't really have any information.
However, there is another thread about webcasting for Long Island:

I'm sorry I can't be more of a help here.
But I hope the above link helps!

Could someone please explain what "Musical Theme", "MVP", and "Greening Award" were awarded for?

It's listed on the bottom of : http://www2.usfirst.org/2008comp/events/LI/awards.html and I'm quite confused

I believe those awards are pilot awards for starters (FIRST is trying them out similar to the best cart award to be given in NYC)

I have no clue what the awards are suppose to mean though - I too am confused

Musical Theme: For the past two years Long Island First has held a contest in which teams can produce a theme song for the regional. The winning entry is played throughout the competition.

MVP: Each team was asked to nominate one of their members as the "MVP". Each nominee received a certificate and one nominee was chosen as overall MVP.

Greening Award: This award was presented to the most environmentally friendly team. I heard that the winning team conducts highway cleanups.

Hello, I am the team 102 member responsible for the aforementioned webcast at Long Island. I setup the wireless network on Thursday. Unfortunately I noticed that nobody was going to use our wireless network because the Hofstra Wireless Network offered Internet access. Since you can only be connected to one network at once people had to make a choice between the chatrooms/webcast/radio and open Internet. Obviously people chose Internet. Thus on Friday and Saturday I decided not to lug the server/WAPs back to the university.

Additionally "team102.frc" is NOT a mistake. If you were connected to our wireless network on Thursday and typed that in you would be connected to our landing page. You can't access it from the Internet... only from our network.

I hope that clears some stuff up.

Newsday, the local paper here on Long Island has some really NICE footage of the competition from the practice day on Thursday.

The footage can be found here: http://www.newsday.com/video/

Look for the video titled "Robot Wars on Long Island"

Yeah I know it's not really a robot "war" but it's still some nice video footage.
