I think we're spending a lot of time concentrating on the 'normal' turnaround between matches, whereas most of the lulls I hear folks groan at during events are the...not normal ones.

We can debate the need to do anything with the standard few minutes of field reset, but having a logistical system in place to run team Chairman's videos during those great ten-minute or hour-and-a-half* field failures is nothing but a plus in my book. I also doubt the audience groaning at another dance song will complain much if you have to pause a video midway and finish it during a normal reset. It's not like you can't network or scout or what have you anyway, and it's much, much friendlier to the home audience.

On the crazy idea side, mid-event award ceremonies could include a few judges presenting the team's second trophy in the pits. Do it a few minutes early and offer to lead them to the high five line. I know this still doesn't work if you're desperately trying to fix something, though I feel like I'd love an award memory that involves the judges surprising us in the pits and the whole area clapping as we work away frantically.

Not sure I like the idea of ubiquitous "Behind the Lines" videos. I've definitely heard some coaches over the years (mostly students, actually) with some sailor mouths, and either way it has the potential to really embarrass folks, which can also cause preoccupation (I'm thinking mistakes rather than inappropriate behavior). I guess official and full alliance approval before and after would do it.

*yes, really.
