Indeed, some Vex version of SOAP would be awesome.

(Looking back, the center goal from Half-Pipe Hustle would've been an awesome place to tuck a camera in. CMUcam mount, anyone?)

Aside from video, I'd really like to see a little more coverage of the autonomous field (assuming there's one in this year's game). Last year, pretty much the autonomous matches only came up when it came time for the Connect award. As a ref who did all the autonomous matches at the Championship this year, I can definitely say that there can be some interesting runs.
