Stay tuned here or at the www.wisconsinregional.com website for more information about the address for our webcast.

Thanks to NASA for their great support and assistance we are able to provide the webcast again this year.

Setup for the regional begins tomorrow - if everything is in place we will webcast Thursday's activities in addition to all day Friday and Saturday.

Feel free to post here for any problems with the webcast.

Webcast seems to be working fine for me launched in WMP.

Just watching webcast here and noticed one alliance received 2nd place race points for their minibot reaching the top target well after the match timer had expired.

My understanding was once the match clock expired, any climbs in progress would not count - basically you have to score before the 10 second end game time expires. Or am I wrong here?

The match is scored when everything in motion comes to rest, or 10 seconds after the end of the match, whichever comes first.

This means that after the buzzer goes off, a minibot still has 10 seconds to finish its climb.

Can we say Lane infractions?

Anybody know where to find a video of Wildstang's minibot? It went up so fast once they got it deployed that it was just a blur in the streaming video.
