My primary focus to this point has been on the scout centre and making that video feed as robust as possible. We are overlaying the scoreboard from the standard feed over fisheye video. Minus the FRC field this setup has been tested and works locally to any computer plugged into the crescent network.

Adam/Watchfirstnow is providing us with 2 streaming setups. One will be playing the traditional overhead feed and one will play the fisheye feed. I would recommend watching the fisheye one because while both webcasts are 720p the input from the traditional feed is 480p.

What you are asking is possible but requires 2 additional cameras, 2 additional capture devices, and additional field-side clutter. (We toyed with the idea of additional cameras and joked about mounting GoPros inside the truss facing each direction.)
