Roaming Robots Arena Webcam Live Feed

+1>Live Arena Web Cam

We have just tested our live web cam feed which will be used during the weekend and testing has gone well. Ok we will be using a USB mobile broad band dongle on 3G but the images are only 6kb each. So were hoping it will go ok. Still things need to be tweaked but for this weekend it will do.

So if your not coming to the event and fancy something to do between 4:30pm and 7pm Saturday and 11:30am till 5pm on Sunday, then log on and have a watch, im sure well have some fun with the cam (if it works).

Will Test it for you Stu :)

Mark, you know my mobile number, give us a text or 2 if its working and if it ever stops working and i need to reset the system. I dont really want to load any web pages on my laptop while doing this as it will limit the bandiwdth i have to upload the images in the first place.

Like i asid in theory, and in testing it worked fine, but that was using my broad band connection for upload. But the images are only 6k.5kb each and there not bad quality so im sure my phone 3G will cope with 6.5kb images. I can after all download streamign you tube and radio 120kb using the phone. But download and upload are different so we wills ee.

Should be good fun. Spread the word if your coming to the event, let your friends and family all over the world watch your robot take part :)

id agree with the staement if they had a fw spinner arena.

That statement will most likely come true when there are enough FW spinners that can compete regularly and reliably without breaking down within the first couple of rounds to ensure that the extra effort and cost put in to produce a spinner-capable FW arena and event are worth it.


Its a bit of a catch 22 situation - without regular events or more than one spinner-capable arena, the number of new or competing spinning robots isnt going to increase much. But event organisers could do with the guarantee of having a good solid handful of competing spinners, ideally that wont break down after a couple of impacts, before taking the plunge and investing in materials, construction, labour and cost etc to make their arena FW-spinner capable.

the reason they are unreliable and breakdown is their is no competitions to put them in for testing. and who now is going to build a spinner fw when their isnt anywhere to take it. a fw competition is a bit boring without a spinner

thank god for robochallenges arena is all i can say, without that arena i wouldnt bother personally.

stu, i love the new webcam thing and hope it all goes to plan! i know what im doing tomo afternoon now after work :)

adrian, roaming robots only started out for heavys well i think anyway
back in them days most of us didnt have feathers - weve only had them for about 2 years now
i still prefer to see heavy battles and the feather events r kind of a fun break for us

it is a shame we dont have spinners at RR, RL events but at rebel robots we will... but still then the flippers will kick there butts

there are big changes coming and plans - 2009 is going to be fun!

im just glad battlebots has been postponed again as my dads sellin his shares in april so beast is going to be pimped out to take on the spinners then! :)

for the last 2 years my gd friend has been saying 2009 is the year - so wait and see :)
