I think this is a part of it. The bigger part is actually just the size and production of the events.

FRC events with the pipe and drape and giant screens are more "professional" than FTC events. Although, FRC district events are not that anymore (from what I can tell)

FRC robots are just big, and even without realtime scoring (prior to 2010, right?) it was still exciting to see robots climbing on other robots (07), shooting a ton of nerf balls (06), chasing each other (09). It also definitely comes down to the game and the size.

I don't think it can come to the level of flashiness that FRC has, and I don't think it needs to.
