Re: 2013 Lessons Learned: The Negative

This is the problem with the webcasts. Most of them ARE NOT WEBCASTS. Most "webcasts" we see consist of what is on the projector screen at the event. These do what they are supposed to, which is to provide close-ups and alternate angles so spectators can get a good look at the robots during each match. They are not ideal and are hard to watch. A few events have real webcasts, designed specifically for those watching online. These are usually just a stationary camera showing the whole field, which is much better. I find that most of these are run by teams or by third parties like a local TV station. If FIRST or an event isn't willing to do this kind of broadcast, maybe teams can pull something together themselves. We can build robots, who thinks we can do this?
