Assuming they have a DJ, getting an FX out for the Mics and the game sound usually isn't that difficult. I've had to do it myself before because some DJs don't know how to use their own equipment but it's normally not a problem if they have a half way descent sound board. You could then play your royalty free playlist behind that on the stream.

Alright thanks.

Im going to email the event cordinator to say we can do it tomorrow after I get a few freshman that want to be on the "Livestream" team.

The event isnt for another 5 weeks but I will get it on TBA so you should watch as we are building a brand new bot.

Thanks

I use vMix to do events in Michigan. http://www.vmix.com/software/
They do a 60 day free trial, no watermarks or timeouts - the real product.
Many more features than OBS. Can do streaming and record to disk at the same time.

You can do the chroma key thing, but I find it easier to just do a multiview in vMix with a camera feed cropped layered underneath the match score. When the match is over, the scoring computer full screen will cover it.

Here is more info on the GoPro stand we made.
Parts: Stand and Pole.
We had to sand down the inside of the plastic top ring on the stand so that the pole would slide inside. We also removed the bottom cap of the pole and drilled a hole through the center and near the bottom of the outer pole so that we could put a bolt through both the stand and pole to prevent it from sliding down. In the pics below neither the stand or pole have been extended and it's about 8ft.
Let me know if you have questions,

Come to think about it I have light stands that I can extend at about the same size. I'll attach it to that.
