I certainly hope that as the season progresses, the coverage will improve. Yes, I'm saying it is not good now (and I don't care if I get neg reps - I'll take them for the tacticians in FIRST).

We want to show students how to scout teams and this kind of coverage makes this practically impossible.

SHOW THE GAME!!
Someone should tell the camera people whenever 16, 33, 71, 111, 1114, 1625, etc are on the field, all you do is focus on their robots.

In 1114's first match I only could see their robot for about 10 seconds of the entire match.

This shouldn't be that difficult. Don't focus on a robot for more than 5 seconds unless it's going really fast or shooting/hurdling the ball or something. Nobody wants to watch a team try to pick up a ball for 25 seconds.
