Re: Requesting "Full-field" Match Video for Webcasts from FIRST

The feed was as you suggested many years ago, and it was tedious to watch a whole match, let alone any length of matches.

Which brings me to a question - Are you suggesting NASA *only* feed the full-field, or that they have full-field in addition to the regular feed?

I think a more apt suggestion would perhaps be to work with the production staff more extensively on the game, how it's played, and what makes valuable close-up time; having a commentator for the webfeed itself, separate from the GA/MC, would also be another possibility.
I see the argument here. Maybe something else they could do is have two separate webcasts going? One like normal, and the other for full field with some close ups in between like I mentioned before. Isaac's right, we need to make sure fans are engaged.
