I think it would be great if there were screens posted out on the backdrop of each field of each of the other fields. Although, in some ways, this would be pointless and distracting, in others, it'd also be beneficial.
We do not get to see what is happening on the other fields due to scouting, but between matches, it'd be great to catch a glimpse of what is happening out there. And if it became a factor of it being distracting, it could be played only between matches, like the "commercials" they played this year, or in times of "field faults" where there is a little more down time.
Another GREAT time to see other matches (actually, where one of our mentors and I noticed the need for it) was during the eliminations--even if just scores were posted. We had a few scouters on each field, who couldn't even see how our own robot was doing, and we wanted to catch some of the action elsewhere as well.
Just a thought. maybe this causes more problems than it's worth, but I figured I'd toss it out there.
On a side note: THANKS FIRST! and everyone involved! This was my first and last year on my team. (Darn, joining as a senior. As soon as you fall in love with it, it goes away) It was an amazing experience and I wouldn't trade it for anything! I cannot believe there are so many people who have no idea what this organization is about, much like myself prior to this year, and I am going to be sure to continue spreading this new FIRST addiction of mine.
