I'm not saying that the students THIS YEAR will be more or less involved - I'm talking about future involvement. If you bring new people to an event and they find it exciting and fun, they are more likely to get involved. On the other hand, if they're bored to tears they're much more likely to think "this is stupid" and find better things to do with their time.

My statement was to mean that our involvement and the work we do is what gets people looking into STEM and supporting stem based education not how the matches look. The competition being exciting is one reason we might stay involved and there is more to the excitement than how much happens in a mach.
FRC matches never look "cool" to outsiders at lower and medium levels of play and usually not even at high levels. That aspect is no different than years past. This challenge is great and the competition is as good as its ever been.
