This sounds like an amazing idea, and if if needed I would love to help in any way I can. In about a month I will be an alumni of Team 281. I have been doing filmmaking all throughout high school and in August I will be going to college to study Broadcast Media. And if you need help with commentary I know virtually all the Palmetto teams inside and out, seeing as I was a student at the last four Palmetto Regionals.

I'm working on something pretty cool, but I have to keep it under wraps for now...
This has me excited... Every video that has come from the Hitchhikers has been amazing. This video is a perfect example of how FIRST event should be covered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=zXQmeuUIeQg

While robot-mounted cameras are probably is not feasible for live broadcasting, this video's use of split screens is effective, the small scoreboard doesn't take up too much space, and the audio from the drivers makes you feel in the moment. I'd love to see a similar model applied to live broadcasts in the future.

The VERY LEAST we can do for competition coverage is use HD cameras!!! The live feeds of some regionals were simply painful to look at due to horrible quality.
