Re: Directing the cameramen

It would be cool if ALL the raw camera feeds were made available for recording... then teams could re-mix the camera feeds to their heart's content. Or the viewer could flick between camera angles (or have multible camera angles on screen) and be their own director... almost like we can flick between fields when watching the championship webcast.

As for the director's camera choices... while I share your pain whenever I miss seeing a great move... but with six robots running around the floor, it is bound to happen. Unlike soccer, hockey, baseball or football, where the action is centred around one key object, the action in FRC is everywhere all at once. It would be a miracle to come even close to keeping up with it all!

Personally, however, I'm just delighted that teams have volunteered to chop up the video into individual matches and that the blue alliance and soap are able to host them.
