I know NASCAR uses a stupid complex system that allows them to actually create a computer generated video of a race on demand. It's obviously not my field so I have no knowledge of feasible a stock solution or the general economies of scale would make it work in FRC. I guess I automatically didn't consider that level of automation happening in FRC after hot goals in 2014. That would be super dope to pull off, maybe making that a requirement of the next control system bid?
