The switcher and streaming box cost 1000 each and then you just use any old laptop for switching. We are talking about, approximately, a $3000 (including cables and a pole) AV setup that could be used at every event to provide a high quality full field view. There are a few things that I'm missing for in venue AV, specifically the projector and stand, but they are mostly commonplace in FRC events so I think it should be fine.

But I'm not putting my hopes up for FIRST to make it happen.
Both the PNW and Michigan districts use similar set ups at low cost and put on some of the best webcasts.
