Yeah, I knew someone was going to come in and correct that. I believe there is also 4 registered 2919 teams as well haha.
And a live stream with plastic bags would be absolutely hilarious, but I somehow doubt its going to happen lol.
The live stream is not 100% confirmed yet, but if there is one, it will almost definitely be here: http://vexrobotics.co.nz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=32:live-video-stream&catid=1:scrimages&Itemid=35
So, is there going to be a live stream?
I have a feeling that the answer yesterday was no.
cant wait to see what the NZ teams came up with this time!
what day and time does this start?
Hi tis link should give you what you want to know.

Just remember that in relation to some time zones we are a day head of you.
http://db.tt/T71EMDM6 Getting Excited!
There is a live feed for the competition, but there have been difficulties in trying to get it working internationally (remember we’re at the bottom of the world), so it might not work outside NZ.
I was able to watch one practice match. I think it had Free Range in it.
You scared??? I wonder if it was…
Today was final set up day, a couple of practice matches to test the fields, and a handful of teams did some skills runs. We’ve got a 41 in driver skills already.
Two more days of competition!
How about programming skills?
uhhh… 3… im still writing it ok?
Not okay I’m going to steal my friend’s smartphone to watch the livestream in school tomorrow. I better see that 3 point run or I’ll be disappointed.
Impressive aye?
Skills field wont be on the video feed sorry, its in a different part of the building
This is madness! I want my money back
There will be skills head to head matches on the main fields (the ones that bobsalive posted a picture of above) on the Saturday afternoon. The normal skills runs aren’t being streamed, so if they’re lucky 2915 might be able to keep their 3-pointer secret until worlds.
