I was just curious if anyone knew what the 2007 NASA webcast schedule might look like – if there’s one at all – or when that information might be available. This is our team’s FIRST year traveling to an out-of-state regional and we’d like for our parents and supporters to be able to cheer us on while we’re down in the Silicon Valley, but it’ll take some time to get them all on board with how webcasting works and what they’ll need to do to watch.
Pretty much a guarantee VCU will be one of the first week ones. Otherwise, it’s up in the air. I’d like to know too Madison. Dave?
This page from 2005 said that the 2006 schedule would be posted by March 3rd and linked on the robotics.nasa.gov homepage; I would guess they have about the same planning schedule this year.
i really hope they will e on NASA TV as well. as this is the first eyar of having NASA TV! i wan’t to see it on TV and be so proud, other then sitting next to the laptop for the whole day.
Hope they do the video feeds in QuickTime as well as Windows Media and Real!
I’m pretty sure Vegas, Florida, Lone Star, and VCU will get NASA Webcast coverage. Chesapeake might get it again (since it was shafted in 2006 after a promise of a webcast). There might be so many good regionals again that won’t get webcasted.
After rooting around a bit I think I found the 2007 schedule:
I have been in touch with my contacts at NASA, I have offered to web stream 4 regionals to them. I am still waiting for decisions to be made. The amount of regionals depends on if I can get a high speed feed on which to stream.
I am also hoping for some of the regional to be played on NASA TV. I would like to have some of the team members over to my home to watch it. Having saturday events on TV would make it a lot easier than 10 people around a computer.
You could always hook your Computer up to your TV… (Don’t ask me how)
I’m glad I finally got DirectTV to watch the events on our projector 
It’s gotta be better than sitting in front of my PC when the feed constantly drops 
For everyone hoping to watch on NASA TV: Word has it that they will only be doing the championships on there, and not the regionals. This was posted by a member of SOAP in another thread.
Also, stay tuned for a NJ Regional Webcast that is not currently listed on the NASA site. NASA has approved it, and we are pending an internet connection at the event, but either way 177 will be providing the archives to The Blue Alliance for some secret plans, and anyone such as SOAP who may request it.
:mad:
o well, back to the laptop.
I can’t recall from last year. Did they webcast on thursday or not:confused:
i don’t thoink nasa does, but the teams some did.
I remember watching Thursday matches from VCU for the past 2 years. I guess we will just have to wait and see, though.

VCU is up an running! The event website has a link. So far it has been advertising. Hopefully we will see practice sessions shortly!
