The solution we're using doesn't require for you to stream. Streaming and recording are two separate functions that can happen simultaneously or you can just record the matches if you don't have internet access. This is a great point though, not every event has the internet to stream out and any solution would need to be able to operate without it.
The scoring overlay you're talking about is just the real time score graphics that the field provides. We use a cheap Monoprice
Video Grabber just to get that part to overlay on top of the GoPro's HD view. The real time graphics don't look as good as everything else, but at least you have them.

To record the events that are already being webcasted (which are a majority of the events today), it literally requires 0 more cost to record matches. You already have a PC, you're already feeding video into some piece of software, you can just record that same feed. The low cost setup we use would run you $500 if you already had a decent PC and $1000 if you didn't. For FIRST that's not a lot of money.
