Directing the cameramen

I'm no director, but watching all those matches on TheBlueAlliance has me wondering why they are filming them the way they are...

I don't mean to be rude, but a close up shot for 10 seconds of a blue lap robot, while the red score jumps inexplicably from 10 to 36, isn't very interesting...

it would be much more entertaining and informative to have the view from the wide shot of the entire field 75% of the time and and some other shots "from the floor" thrown in to make things interesting....

I appreciate the hard work of the men, women & students who work hard to get the videos filmed, recorder, uploaded, hosted and displayed - and this is just a small detail that was bothering me when watching regionals...

Do you agree?
Is there anything that can be done?
