Remember who the target audience is, and it will make sense. Don't over analyze it, just enjoy it!
I agree partially. However, the target audience should be for those that are interested in Robotics. The WWE format is a bit of a turn-off for me, but my 7- and 8-year-old boys love the robots in action!

On the same note that others have identified: it would be better if they gave real stats rather than the arbitrary ones that they give. Maybe as this gains some steam, they can evolve these given stats into some that are more reflective of the robots themselves.

It will be interesting to see if more FRC related teams become involved in future seasons. I know that my team is looking into it.

All in all - I am grateful for some Robot action during the summer! Let's keep the Neilsen ratings up there!

P.S. We are all for Bite Force in my house!
