This is something I definitely noticed. Myself and a few members of my team gathered on Saturday to watch the webcast of the eliminations. The biggest thing we noticed was a LOT of excessive zooming. There would be extended periods (5+) seconds where all you saw was an electronics board or some pneumatic accumulators.

We want to see robots scoring! Not a random section of some teams bumpers.
