The matches will be as exciting as people choose to make them. Design an exciting robot with a concept that will surprise others, and the matches are suddenly more exciting to watch.

Many students (and mentors) are in FRC for reasons beyond just designing and building a robot. (I'm one of those.) The sports angle is intended to attract students who may not be immediately focused on design and build. Don't lose sight of that broader reach. FIRST has a truly unique model that makes project based learning exciting.
