Re: Video Review Needs to Happen Now

With the addition of a fish-eye view camera, two seperate cameras on each side of the field could also be used. This doesn't seem like a very hard concept. The Orlando regional archives all video footage on YouTube literally minutes after the match is played. This requires a good internet connection at the venue and a lot of other factors.

Simply setting up three cameras and taking video of each match is not a hard thing to do. Currently there are three cameras set up at CVR that give a pretty good view of most of the field. For instance, a student can go to the question box and tell the refs that there was a mistake on their part in the last match at 1:39. The refs can then go on a computer on the FMS table and watch that specific portion of the match and make a ruling.

If there is no indisputable evidence of the question by the student, then it can be said that, just like in the NFL, there is no hard evidence for the call to be overturned.

I have been affected by wrong calls several times in my 3 years as driver of 364. (especially at worlds, where our ranking was affected). Sure, it's an iffy issue, but I'd like to see what FIRST has to say about something like this.

Also, you'd think that with all of the money that comes in for a regional, something like this wouldn't be much of an issue.
