I know that with the work I went through this year to set up the GTR web cast that it would not have happened if I had to get all of the above in place first. That being said, it would be good to have FIRST try it for 1 regional (say GTR) to find out if our events are TV ready.

For waterloo and GTR one idea might be to put together a TEAM to cover the event, you would have maybe 3-4 cameras, some video production students who can edit and quickly turn around incoming tape from the pits as well as the live feeds as well as the multi-camera live operation....it would almost be like a first team but a video production team, they would learn a bit about the design, building of the robot and game and other stuff and plan for the event coverage in the same way a team plans and prepares for competition....I think it can be done, with a crew who has the same atitude as the people in FIRST I don't see why not.
