Yes, I understand cycle time is always important at these competitions. But from a spectator standpoint (both in the stands, and watching over the webcast), it is irritating. Remember, FIRST strives to make these events spectator-friendly and professional in appearance. The constant complaining that the teams aren't moving fast enough is neither of those, hence my suggestion to do it with the microphone switched off. Bugging the teams to hurry up is fine, it keeps things moving. It's just that subjecting the audience to it doesn't help anything.
