I can't recall which regional it was (I think MSC, as stated earlier in the thread), but I saw that setup before. Something like that plus the static "aerial" shot that we already get would be much better. 3 views minimum, then regionals with more resources/space can also add in the optional camera operators.

Here is a randomly selected video from that setup:

I don't know much about the bandwidth aspects of it, but that hardware setup would be pretty affordable to have one for each field.

I like that. You can see everything, and the regional only needs to setup one camera.

I definitely think FIRST should try to implement some of these ideas and enforce a standard. It's the next logical step in their plan to spread the word.
