Tell them you are recording to put the video on the blue alliance online for everyone to view. This helped me in westmichigan when they thought I was just doing it for myself.
Speaking of which I should have westmichigan online in another couple days.
I was told the same thing, not in the budget this year apparently, not even an audio pool feed and same might be the case at GTR.
My advice then to those filming from the stands is use a tripod no matter what and if you have a directional mic on some kind of pivoting mount so that it stays pointed at the speakers hanging from the ceiling and that should help a bit with the audio.
I miss the audio feed, I always plugged into it and set it to channel two in my camera/headset and had it up loud just so I could enjoy the music while I was there for the day extra loud.
If they get the webcast working tomorrow we will have a recording of that, not perfect but it worked for Pittsburgh. I’m not sure what the deal will be for GTR, but my team is running the webcast and I will have a second AV feed for a recording.
I should have specified that I meant download the webcast. Some of the MI districts are recorded and available for streaming on Ustream, but they’re not worth much unless we can download the videos and cut them up. I suppose I could use a screen-capture program to download them that way, but the quality is so crappy that I’m not sure it’s worth it.
Just contact the team who did the Ustream broadcast, they will have access to download them. I’m sure they will send them to you.
still no word from NJ?
As posted elsewhere, mostly-complete ROC: http://normandy.hopto.org/videos/2010/roc/
I think these have been all- or mostly-posted on TBA, but re-sampled at a lower resolution.
Wisconsin Regional is up on TBA now.
Good timing, I got to show my little cousin our quarterfinals matches. 
Can anyone help?
A student on 1676 has raw match footage from Virginia on disk, but just won’t ever find the time to parse it. There are 3 or 4 matches missing (when the tapes ran out) but it’s mostly complete. Taken from a good spot in the stands, only rarely is the field obscured by an errant spectator.
Does anyone have somewhere we can upload the raw video, thus allowing someone to parse it? As expected, it is several tens of GB. Upload bandwidth is not a problem.
Does anyone have video of CT?
TBA has room. I’ll PM you.
Thanks Greg. I’ll make it happen as soon as I can.
SHVEET! i was hoping video from our regional would eventually get up 
I know team 2337 will be working to supply TBA with our matches (if not all of the matches, were working on it) on our field from Nationals. We also supplied all but 3 of our matches from the State competition.
explosion of happiness
Please tell me you have Qualification 95 on tape. That would be awesome! An unfortunate repercussion of being the trident operator is that you have a wall of people between you and the field and can’t really see when your robot does something awesome like driving up Kilroy’s ramp.
I was talking with CTFIRST. 230 was filming the entire event. Remember how they got those instant replays? If anyone knows the best person to contact on that team, that’d be where I’d start.
there are videos of palmetto on this page: http://www.clemson.edu/tlt/stream/frc/video.html
they are semi-parsed… but i did not put them up… nor do i know how to get them off… i just know of their existence 
I recorded the entire CT regional, but it’ll take me some time to get all the matches parsed. If anyone can help, we might be able to do it a little faster.
Can you get the un-parsed matches online? I can send you FTP information if you need space to put them so others can get at them. The community has been great about splitting video from other events.
PM me if you want FTP info
No idea, but I can’t imagine why we wouldn’t. The only matches n=missing are those unfortunate to land when the tape needed to be replaced.
I see that at least one file has been FTP’d to TBA; I believe there would be a few of these, since this one is only 4GB and I was led to believe the whole set was a few tens of GB. In HD, by the way …
