I agree that the spotlights were too much. However, I was more annoyed by the dim lighting in the stands. It made it very difficult to read and record scouting data.

A robotics competition is not like a concert or a theatrical event. Although, the action on the floor is the focus of attention, the people in the stands are not mere spectators who are there to be entertained. They are part of the action and have a job to do as well. It would help if they could see what they are doing.
