The event was streamed on YouTube and can be viewed on the FIRST Robotics BC YouTube channel. There were technical difficulties with the stream so there’s no game announcer sound in the videos, and multiple videos were created over the course of the day.
The earlier videos from this event can be found in the FIRST Robotics BC YouTube streams.
Thanks to Lawrence Yu for taking photos of the event which can be found in this One Drive folder.
