I would even go as far as to say that it is more important to have the wide angle feed than have the score keeper at the bottom of the screen.
Just my 0.02NIS....

While I don’t necessarily agree with your suggestion (watching from 1 static POV can become quite boring), I just wanted to point out that there are technical obstacles that will prevent most people (if not all) from getting the wide angle camera feed. The cameras are connected directly to the video mixer, and no production company will let you tap into that feed (assuming you had the right connectors and converters, which you probably don’t). I know from previous experience that the only analog connection I could get was directly from the video mixer.
I also don’t agree with what you said regarding the live scoring. I think it’s an extremely important aspect of any webcast and archived video, and most viewers will get annoyed by the lack of real-time scoring.
I think the better approach would be to politely ask the video producer (who mixes the video and communicates with the cameramen) to try and focus more on the whole field and specific robots that are doing something interesting, rather than random close-ups. They have a different perspective on things and probably don't know what most viewers at home are interested in.
