Re: Ease of Viewing Game Pieces on Field?

I was going to post to condradict you saying we need some way with the camera to see the balls...but what's worse is if you are a scoring bot, and you score in the opposite goal of where you and your team are positioned in the alliance station (and it might be hard also to see form the middle...maybe less), there seems to be some sort of wall there too, based on footage of teams showing the offical field in NH. It'll be hard for the drivers, just from looking to the side and trying to understand thier perspective vs. robot perspective of what is the roobts position relative to that wall (Bumping into that wall when try to score will suck :-/ ).

I would like live vid footage, but as some of my team members have said this year, like last year, the bandwitch in the field is not capable of withstanding soo large of communication data between robots, the field and the driver station of each team. Even if a team WOULD do so, it would cause some delays in the field system.

But if FIRST has been able to solve this issue somehow, oh, how I wish I was one year younger than I am right now.
