Re: Saving Seats Epidemic
I've been a member of the pit crew since I first joined a team. Lately, its gotten to a point where its not worth the effort to try to procure a seat with the team to watch the match live. I know a few of our other pit members felt the same way this year.
To be honest, I'd be perfectly happy with watching a proper full field stream video of the match from the pits. The pit streams at the regionals we attended this year were decent enough to get an idea what was happening in the match, but usually cut away as soon as you really wanted to see what your robot was doing. I'm willing to bet there are other pit crews out there that would just as soon watch from the pits so that they can be ready when the robot comes back. (This is particularly frustrating at champs where the walk from the stands to the pit is ~15mins depending on your field, and there is no video anywhere in the pit area)
Having this option available might help cut down on some of the back and forth traffic between the pits and the stands that some are saving seats for. Obviously, this would not be a full solution, but every little bit helps.
