The last few games were a shambles, I for one was looking forward to viewing the finals free and clear of multi Butts parading across the front of the stage.
I feel that its important to televise the games to the world but not at the viewing expense of the teams that have paid for and been working a year for the privilege of seeing the finals uninterrupted.
If FIRST wants to have the media there to cover the games then the cameras should be placed on the back side of the stage, think of the view they would have with the Robots in the for ground and thousands of screaming team fans in the back ground ' wow what a sight '.
Cameras with telephoto lenses could be placed in the stands at the back and they could even mount a camera on a moving cable above the arena ( they do at football games ).
Next year if the view is blocked lets shout ' MOVE YOUR A** ' not ' WE CANT SEE '

: : Something really needs to be done. I remember the chants last year during the playoffs 'move the cameras' 'we can't see'...and this was from the people right in front of the stage

: I was one of the many to be totally blocked by the 'official' camera people...The problem with their film is that, well, why watch it on the screen when you can watch it in real life, except that they're in front of you all the time so you have no options. The official camera people should be behind the field rather than in front of it, because otherwise they're nothing but a nuisance. We're there to watch and tape our robots playing, not camera people's behinds!!!
