Just another thought, a lot of teams have tried out the GoPros from the robot themselves, which does result in some rpetty cool shots. But another angle we started to play around with is mounting the GoPro to the drivers themselves. It gives the viewer a first person perspective of what it's like to compete in a match. (And you don't have to worry about wait allowances) haha

Cool idea! If we have the funds we'll probably pick up one or two GoPros and give both the on-robot and on-driver perspective a shot. In their 2012 robot video, 118 also had some really cool shots that looked like they mounted it either on the corner of the robot or on some kind of appendage. It was pretty cool:
