Utilizing breaks between matches.

That's great, but there's only so many groups to choose from. Even if you combine FUN, F4, Gamesense and probably another podcast I'm missing, you still don't have nearly the amount of people for all of the events. I think the IRI stream was done really well, but compare that to the champs stream, I think you can see a big difference. The champs stream wasn't really on top of when match started and stopped, sometimes going into a match after it's already started and sometimes staying there for much longer than necessary. While I do think that this is the best option, I'm not sure it's feasible for every event. We might be able to get a "Stream Host" volunteer role for some events, but I sincerely doubt many will want that position.

So to add a little bit of input from the last two year at IRI. This has a lot to do with the IRI Live desk (Collin and Nick/Danny) and myself (emcee) coordinating this setup. The first year I would wait for the IRI Live people to get done and it was great for those watching the event via webstream, but was a bit daunting for those there in person who had to awkwardly wait with no audio even when all robots were connected and we were ready to start.

This past IRI things were positioned where there was a communication channel that would give the wrap it up part to Collin and Nick when I was ready to start. This kept things moving smoothly with minimal interruptions/overlaps on this. On a championship level this could be coordinated as well but that is up to FIRST where at IRI it was up to the planning committee.
