Jon,
I just started to think about implementation details, and that suggestion is a really good one to consider. Does YouTube or Google Video allow downloads of video to a user's hard drive?
I think getting the regionals recorded deserves just as much attention as getting the video parsed into individual matches and put online (though the parsing is alot more tedious). Every step has to be executed for this to work.
I'm also hoping FIRST's scoring system is working by week one, so that we could possibly nag them about getting a copy of the scoring database, to pull match information from.
Then things will really start to come together, you know? If they don't provide the database, then there is always the online match results to use (still counts on data availability from day one). Ugh, then there is also the matter of robot information, and robot pictures, but I'm taking this thing one step at a time. (Actually, I think getting robot pictures may be easy, as I notice there are always a few people that upload robot pictures onto CD-Media that they took for scouting purposes).
Anyway, back to the video feed talk
