THIS. If I had a dollar for every reveal last year that was five minutes of a robot picking up totes the same way over an over (insert any year's main task, performed ad nauseum), I could buy a lot of corn dogs (insert your choice of FIRST-related food jokes, cheesecake, BBQ, etc.). Show us an aspect of the robot, maybe show it a second time, then move on.

Leave us wanting more.
