Who knows, but there are plenty of interesting things left to do with video that FIRST hasn't done yet.

Although LnL's assistance is part of what makes BattleCry great, they actually just do the sound and lights. The video, scoring, confetti, etc production is run by BC staff members.

And, as much as we would love to be given credit for the goal cams, I'm pretty sure we stole the idea from the Florida regional. (After a while, all these FIRST events begin to blend in with each other, so I'm not exactly sure if thats where we saw it last year, but I think it is).

It would be very neat to copy championship this year and do the goal station cameras, but we don't have $36000 in our budget for the widescreen LED display.
