As far as I am concerned the webcasts are pretty useless.

I know that webcasting is limited by bandwidth issues, but I am not talking about that.

What I think ruins the broadcast is that FIRST is feeding whatever they put on the projection screen TV to the webcast.

While goofy camera angles and close up of ball jams and broken robots may be exactly what folks AT THE EVENT want to see on the big screen, they are only confusing and fustrating to someone offsite trying to figure out what is going on.

I am BEGGING FIRST & NASA TO PLEASE give us a static full field shot and leave it at that.

It will be more useful for the teams trying to learn the game and more entertaining to watch for those who are just trying to see what FIRST is all about.
