This seemed to be mostly an issue during the semi-finals on Einstein, oddly enough. Finals were pretty good and the divisions were pretty good. Maybe a separate feed for the webcast could be done? It would be pretty sweet to allow people watching the webcast to choose which camera to see, or at least have the option of watching from some kind of fixed camera that sees the whole field.

Outside of Atlanta the only thing I'd do is make sure to never, ever penalize a team for doing well. G14 wasn't too much of a big deal, thankfully, but the concept itself is just not good at all.

Agreed on both counts. The webcasts were hard to watch sometimes because of the camera work. I realize that in this game it can be tough to follow all the action, but lingering close-ups of pinned robots or drivers don't help anyone.

As for G14... well... no... just no. Please, never again. A team should never have to worry about being "too good". I would bet the farm that it will be among the rules to be "adjusted" for IRI. That's usually not a good sign.
