VEX Robotics Mid-Atlantic Championship FINALS CLIP

A few mins befor the finals started on the live brodcast a friend told me to start recording, on such short notice i did not have time to prepare anything and i had to go in a cuple of mins so all i did was let it record for like 2 hours and cropped out the advertisments.

the vid is kinda long so youtube is out of the question so i uploaded it to Veoh,

Link is found here

Interesting.

Did they show the results of the semi-finals matches by any chance?

im quite sure i got it all… if not then FML._.

OMG I want to thank you for this. I didn’t get any video of the tournament and of our robots there or anything. I was going to try to record the webcast but couldn’t figure out how. Thank you so much for posting this!!

Thank you so much for doing this! Great views of great robots.

One thing that puzzles me is that every year at Worlds, high-quality video feed is shown to the spectators, and I wonder why it’s never recorded for posterity and the benefit of those who can’t attend. In 2007, Bridge Battle was recorded and uploaded to the NASA website, but since then, I haven’t seen anything like it.

Unlike videos taken by spectators, the official video feed is taken from optimal camera angles, and there are generally no views of refs or spectators blocking views the fields.

I wish I had the capability to record, but my computer is vintage 2003, and so are my skills in that department.

I do actually have 6 hours of high-quality feed from the 2008 Worlds (the finals) recorded off TV, stored on a satellite hard drive that I’ve been planning to upload and share. However, with no functional VCR or DVR, I’ve put that project on hold until I can get the equipment cheaply (like at a yard sale).

maybe we can request it somewhere?
and it would be awesome if it (the whole video for the day) can be zipped and uploaded one a file sharing site, that way teams can watch videos of themselves and other robots in their hotel and stategize for the next day
(i know its kind of asking for a lot, but at least get the vids recorded? ;))

or we can ask nicely to friends and family of the people of this forum to record it for 3 days straight :wink:

The problem in the past has been that the video wasn’t broken into matches and it wasn’t recorded by VEX/RECF. No one ever took the many hours it would take to break up the video and post it.

This year, we are hosting our own video stream, and are looking into what it will take the gazillions of bytes of video and post it in individual matches. With more than 500 matches, this is a non-trivial problem.

even if you didnt break it, you can still publish the 9 hr chunk, and hopefully a kind forum member will dedicate their time to that :slight_smile:
you’d get lots of likes and subs in your youtube channel :rolleyes:

I’d be glad to break it all. Of course it won’t happen until after I arrive home from the World Championship but I’d still be up for doing that if nobody wants to, haha. :stuck_out_tongue:
