Regional Webcasts

NASA webcasters are going to attempt Portland and Richmond this weeK

Real Media links from the robotics.nasa.gov page should appear Thursday Afternoon, and be in use on Friday and Saturday. The NASA Robotics Education project is providing this service at no cost to FIRST.

We have expectations to be able to Webcast Central Florida, PeachTree and
Silicon Valley and the Nationals in coming weeks. Thanks to all of you who volunteered to help-out - sorry that we didn't get the ball rolling sooner on this - but 26 regionals has everyone scrambling.


I am off to Portland - can't wait!!!

I am so glad they are atleast websacting some of the events... too bad they arn't televising any tho especially since I finally get NASA tv... but HEY!! at least now I got something to do during study hall on friday!

Sorry no NASA-TV until the Nationals. Those satellite trucks (and satellite time) is expensive. I.E. about four teams per event.

Just want to copy DJ's link to the VCU regional website. The webcast on that has been working for me.

Where do I find the Pacific NW Regional webcast or archive? Everywhere I look it gives me an "Inaccurate Link requested" error.

[Kevin Sevcik]

I'm uncertain if there is an archive of it. I certainly can't find one at the moment. I, personally, recorded all of Saturday's event. I failed completely at finiding reliable software to record it on Friday, but thems the breaks. If you want Saturday's stuff I can probably snail-mail it to you in a CD.

They are not up yet. - And because of an equipment failure and the fact I had to leave before the event was over, I don't know if there is an archive of the Pacific NW. We usually have tapes, but this year the only people with tapes are FIRST. We may get copies - but typically this is after the season is over. I will check to see if there is an archive of Richmond.

Even if the event was archived I will have to do a LOT of editing. The finals
took forever and there was a lot of trouble with the field.

So, when will the urls to these regionals be uploaded? Sorry if I seem a bit rash, I just cannot wait until UCF.

Richmond is in the works - hopefully, the Elimination rounds will be posted later today by the Langley folks http://robots.larc.nasa.gov - they probably will post some stills too!

Once the real media archive are up we will move them to a faster realmedia server.


No word on Portland yet ----- still waiting for the laptop to come in!

Real Player required - you can get it off the link page.

Any final word on whether or not UCF will be webcast this weekend?
