I totally agree. If you really spend some time thinking about it, the FIRST games are pretty easy to explain compared to most sports. There are many rules on building the robot but the rules of play really aren't all that complicated. All FIRST would need if televised, would be a quick little animation displaying how points are achieved. This could be shown after every other commercial break. Something along those lines. Also, if the announcers are good it'd be really easy to catch on (i.e. 'and TJ2 drags the puck back over the center line, recapturing the doubler!'). It’s really much less complicated than football, hockey, or any other pro-sport.

It's all about promotion.
