Let's split videography into several different buckets:

1) The video that gets shot by the FIRST-authorized cameramen at the regionals and championship:
a) The primary customers for this video is the public audience and for FIRST for their own future promotional DVDs; that on-screen video really isn't for our use since we pretty-much know what's going on in the game.
b) You can't fault the court-side videographers for seeking-out whatever "action" is going on (human players, robots bumping, faces of drivers, etc). Personally, I think the regional footage I've seen is pretty well-rounded "action" shots.
c) That said, I would like to see FIRST add a couple of more camera angles such as a high-ceiling camera and/or an over-the-goal camera angle. Siwtching between the angles is fine with me; this isn't for match strategy.

2) As a team videographer, it's much more important for me to capture the spirit of the team rather than just "fire-hosing" back and forth on the robot in each match. yes, it's nice to have two team videographers, one assigned to doing "match strategy" video alone.
a) It's now very easy in software to do split-screens between the actual match footage plus still shots and/or other source of video of your team. watching the match by itself is boring; one or two matches in your highlight video plus the game animation is just enough to get the message across
b) Think about your customer for your team highlight video; don't forget that next year's students are a customer as are your current and future sponsors and patrons.
c) For theam highlight videos, be sure to get lots of "tight" face shots of every member of your team. In fact, a set of rolling cast credits will help you make sure you get shots of everybody.
