2007 Lone Star Regional

Competition Regional Competitions

Ummm. No. I’m certain that it’s not a permanent move. We have things FAR too good in the Reliant Arena. Location, event support, and expansion room are all great at Reliant. I’m convinced that there is no other venue in or around Houston that could credibly support our growing regional nearly as effectively as Reliant Arena or maaaaybe one of the other Reliant Park facilities.

the place i’ve heard of doesn’t charge parking and has just about the same amount of seating (if not larger) and cheaper food.

aw, shucks for 2008…yippee for the return. :slight_smile:

#43

The list is up to Fifty 4th & 5th graders along with a dozen teachers. The hope is that we have them leaving early enough in the AM to arrive at the arena by 9:30 AM. We’ll escort them into the stands so we are going to attempt to set up some seating for them without violating the spirit of the rules of not saving seats. We will let them watch games in the morning so that they can see the robots in action on the field and hopefully recognize teams when the visit the pits after lunch. So the plan for the pit tours by escorted student groups is after lunch, 1:00 - 2:30. They will be getting back on the bus and make the 3 hour trip back to San Antonio so that their parents can pick them up by 6:00 PM:)

I appretiate all the support and help that the veteran teams are giving to introducing the FIRST experience to these future Toltechians:D

Thanks for the info Kevin,
I just email the Falcon Master and they allow teams to each on the grounds but you can’t cook hot dogs or anything via a grill.

Anybody been to this regional? If so, what can you report about the venue

#45

To answer your question:

Also:
Have you heard the phrase “Every things big* in Texas”, well that sums up our regional.

Pavan.
*In size and quality.

Team 1429 will be at LSR also. After the Bayou regionals, I know things will be ‘heating up’ in Houston. I look forward to seeing 118 and 364 do some amazing things. Good luck to all that are attending.

Reviving this post from last year with some useful store info for the LSR 2007.

Feel free to modify and update!

Thanks that will really help a lot of teams that come out to Lone Star.

#49

Lone Star was amazing. I didn’t see all of the matches but I know three teams scored around the rack (8 ringers) and from what I saw, If 148, 364, or 2158 (AusTIN CANs) are together (with or against each other) in the final matches, there will be more views of those final matches than there are registered members on Chief Delphi. It will be THAT good.

Watch it, you’re gonna love it!

Is anyone able to view the LSR webcast?

When I click on the Lone Star Regional link at the FIRST Webcast site, I get a Windows Media Player error message:
Windows Media Player cannot play the file because a network error occurred. The server might not be available. Verify that you are connected to the network and that your proxy settings are correct.
Is the problem just on my end, or is the server down?

#51

I am having no problems watching the webcast.

#52

Webcast looks excellent here in Georgia. Coming in at 331 Kbps.

#53

Rats!

I can view the Las Vegas and Palmetto webcasts, but Lone Star is a different story. I checked the proxy config’s on Windows Media Player - no difference between autodetect and using the browser’s proxy configuration.

The LSR media link is:

mms://sargasso-3.arc.nasa.gov/lonestar

where as for Palmetto it is:

mms://a335.l1856940184.c18569.n.lm.akamaistream.net/D/335/18569/v0001/reflector:40184

These appear to be very different servers in different domains - any “net wizards” out these who might have a clue what I’m doing wrong??

I’m trying to see my son’s team in action (Team 16 - Bomb Squad), but so far, no joy…

#54

148 is looking pretty lethal. (And they score keepers!) I haven’t seen 118 yet.

I hope I can see these teams together tomorrow. What a deadly combo.

#55

I’m having the same problem. I sure wish someone could tell us what we are doing wrong soon. I’m missing the action!

#56

I was able to see their second, third, and fourth match so far. The autonomous keeps missing by inches. They lost Match 9 because of pentalties, Match 23 they won, Match 28 they lost, but did extremely well and was able to place four tubes on the spider while under defense.

I hope you will be able to view it. I was able to pick it up from here: http://robotics.arc.nasa.gov/events/webcasts/regionals_2007.php

On that page, I’m clicking on the Lone Star Regional Live link. Windows Media Player comes up indicating that it’s “Connecting to media…” and after about 10 seconds the dreaded message window pops-up:
“Windows Media Player cannot play the file because a network error occurred. The server might not be available. Verify that you are connected to the network and that your proxy settings are correct.”

I don’t have this problem with the two other Live webcasts (Las Vegas and Palmetto). Any experts out there with suggestions???

#58

The “Match Results” and “Standings” pages for the Lone Star Regional are not being updated today either - maybe this is an “internet-challenged” event??

#59

i’m having the same problem with the webcast… i am very interested in seeing how the brazilian tem #1772 is doing out there…

if someone could tell me i would be very very happy ^^

bye…

see ya in Atlanta !!:smiley:

#60

i saw 1772 in a match with 118 this morning where the alliance got a full row plus a few more tubes for a score around 270ish.

I just watched 1772 with 148 get a full row and win the match with 256 points. In that same match on the other alliance 16 capped very impressively during autonomous.
