This is one of the most irritating parts of webcasts for me. I can distinctly recall a match where during autonomous I listened to the announcer call out the blue alliance as they made 1 autonomous shots, while the camera operator focused on the red alliance which had one robot shoot 2 disks over the 2 point goal. It was incredibly frustrating. I completely agree that the camera operators need some sort of training on where to point the cameras. If FIRST is going to spread, we need to have webcasts that are more exciting and better quality. I swear some of these must be filmed with a potato, they are completely embarrassing to share with people outside FIRST.
