For those who don't know what I am talking about I suggest you watch this Einstein match from 06 and how exciting it was before the match even started.

That excitement just wasn't there this year and the whole process seemed to be rushed
Unfortunately whoever at FIRST puts together the schedule for Einstein + awards thinks that it's important for a multitude of speakers to say the same thing over & over, which unfortunately doesn't leave enough time for Dave's captivating introductions. The lack of music was also a real downer; I'm pretty sure they didn't have any music because it would interfere with the filming that was going on during the matches.
