I hate the camera operating as much as the next guy but....

I agree with others here that have said that a single full-field cam is a bad idea. They already have this on practice day, and for most events it is unwatchable.

Until webcast quality improves at most events a static field cam is not a reasonable solution to this issue. It may be watchable at the quality level some events have been broadcast at (Midwest, Las Vegas when it was working and maybe Northstar and 10K Lakes) but for the vast majority of the UStream feeds and 320x240 WMV webcasts it would be impossible to tell who was who. It's hard enough much of the time already even with shots zoomed in well past full field.

What we do need is 0 driver/HP shots during matches, 0 zooms on dead robots and 0 zooms closer than a full robot. I don't want to see a zoom on a wheel, I don't want to see a zoom on an RSL and I don't want to see a human player doing nothing.
