My interest was also for spectators. FIRST is not very viewer friendly in comparison to most spectator sports. For me a FIRST match is like a 4 inning ball game.

I think increasing the human aspect to the games would make it more interesting. The pit crew in nascar adds an emotional aspect to racing, FIRST could take from this.
