FIRST on television is a great idea but there are some drawbacks. I remember, if my memory serves me correct, that the finals at the nationals a few years back was heavily covered by tv crews. It was to the point where the camera guys were standing right in the way. I missed the whole match due to them blocking the way. Also I remeber my first year with FIRST that someone hired a camera man to take photos of us. They where in the pits the whole time and got in the way quite often. Although it was nice they were taking the pictures they just didn't get that in 5 minutes we were going on stage and our motor burnt out.

Although it is a good idea some tinkering may be necessary first. Maybe FIRST can do something like professional sports and have one crew video tape the whole thing and send it to the stations. Just my 2 cents.
Later,
Jason
