In addition to demonstrations, the Olympics has demonstration sports that are used to judge interest and feasibility. In sailing before a new boat is selected, the Olympic committee will insure that there are enough teams in member countries that have access and experience before adding it to the line up.
I think its great to get robotics on the world stage in some fashion. While the winner take all approach of the Olympics might not make sense for FRC, we should be thinking of other ways to get on network TV.
In the states their is a summer program called BattleBots.
