2010 Lesson Learned: The Negative

[Kellen Hill]

Training for the camera operators for Championships. Watching the web casts was a pain because the field side camera men would zoom in on the drivers for 5-15 second periods during the match. They would do the same to individual robots during the match as well, so it was hard to have any idea of how the match was going besides watching the real-time scoring.

I understand the people sitting in the stands can see most everything, and the close ups can be nice for them, but for those watching at home, we rarely got to see our teams in action because of all the close ups.

I suggest that a majority of each match be a zoomed out view of the entire field, while a smaller percentage of time is dedicated to zooming in on a particular robot or drive team.
