In my 5 years of FIRST experience, I thought IRI was THE BEST competition I've ever been to, even more fun than any regionals I've ever participated and volunteered at. That event didn't cost 170k like a normal regional, and yet it was a far better experience for me.
So, I believe a big part of it is in the people who run the event, and the spirit of the participating teams. Of course it's still nice to have all the A/V equipment and professional video production, but I think it's been proven that they are not necessary for inspiration and excitment.
