I also love that they are explaining what is going wrong with the robots when people are frantically fixing them. Breaking is big drama for the teams, but it often doesn't really get out to the audience as they are busy doing the Cotton Eyed Joe or Cha-Cha slide.
I couldn't agree more!

The only thing that I found surprising was how fast the teams were willing to give up their strategies to the LIVE viewers !

A quick text to the opposing alliance and the strategy that was supposed to win could easily turn into the factor that makes them lose!

Teams may "trick" the viewers as well, anticipating this. (Creating a whole new meta-game within strategy).
