Re: Utilizing breaks between matches.
Some thoughts in bullet points because too busy to actually write paragraphs:

- Fillers with videos / play by play analysis / audience interaction are cool during elims. They help keep the energy up when the downtime is more expected.

- You really don't need anything between matches in quals. People are going over scouting data, taking a break from the match, going to the bathroom, getting lunch, etc. Even if there's a long downtime, people will entertain themselves. Events work just fine when you don't try and squeeze anything in - just let things be.

- Dance songs are the reason people still call robotics competitions "dork fests" as if we were back in a 1980's high school drama show. They make us look lame. Just don't.
