Re: [FRC Blog] Audience Displays and a Favor
I really like what FIRST is doing here... the screens are good, and particularly the pre-match screen helps give a little anticipation before the match for those that don't know the robots as well.
I would like to see two improvements though:
1. Make the alliance score BIGGER!! It's totally reasonable on a computer screen, but on the projector at many events it'll be very difficult to read... and it's the one thing that should be legible by someone with 20/20 eyesight anywhere in the venue. Even at the NH Week Zero (which was in a small venue) it was difficult for me to read the score!
2. Post the broken-out scores (Auto, Defenses, Tower, Challenge/Scale, Foul) on the FIRST results page for each match. FIRST seems to finally be understanding their part of the "Make It Loud" concept... As with any competitive sport (student or professional), teams can have a lot of "fans" when there is the opportunity to actually follow the teams (at events, online, and through webcasts). Providing more results info and better webcasts to teams, parents, friends, sponsors, and die-hard FIRSTers will always promote Making It Loud.
