FRC RedZone

[tombot]

Feature idea for GameDay:

I like watching webcasts. I don't like watching a bunch and trying to figure out which one has good matches. There are people in the world who do though. Why can't they pick for me?

This feature would basically boil down to remote controllable full window streams. The browser would listen to a remote server to tell it which cast it should be watching, and it would switch to it when the desired stream changes.

On the server side, we have a highly motivated FRC student deciding which match is the coolest right now and selecting that cast from a list. When the operator selects the cast, everyone watching the "RedZone" channel would get the selected feed.

We would obviously not call it RedZone...

What if you could tag matches as "hot" from the schedule page of an event and automate out the highly motivated student? Then, the server could just have a queue of the "hot" matches, and the RedZone feed to that event once the score for the previous match has been posted.

This would require the FMS/scraper to be updating properly so the server could know which matches are upcoming, though.

Deciding which match is the best, is really subjective.

We could implement something like a neural network with PyBrain (http://pybrain.org/).
This could add on to the "hot" matches idea as well

Or just pay a kid to pick the best one. all day. errday.
