Re: Better web/telecasts of FIRST competition matches

Well look at a FIRST and compare it to many different sports, particularly ones that get a lot of press coverage. Most sports, have 1 item that gets passed and moved around, making it easy and intresting to watch on TV. In FIRST everyone typically is scoring points and moving around in every which way at once, making it very hard to get good TV coverage of. The best solution? Have more cameras and a video booth to select the best feed, but unless theres a game thats very spectator friendly, and more often than not that kind of game will be less boring to watch and compete in (especially if your a rookie)

In my opinion, FIRST has it figured out, now if only they could tell us the game a little earlier, and then ship out the KOP a little later, so that way we plan out a bit more.
