The main reason behind the cloth in 2005 was for the CMUcam, which was not targeted at an active light that year, but rather a passive green target tetra. And for this year, it seems that they were impressed with how WPI has used climatic lighting at BattleCry@WPI for the past few years, and they wished to imitate it during the Einstein Finals.
According to Steve Sargent, (Sargent productions) the black cloth covering the roof was left over from the cosmetics show from the week before the championships, same as 2005. It had nothing to do with the CMU cameras.

"If you go that way you can be somebody. You will have to make compromises and you will have to turn your back on your friends. But you will be a member of the club and you will get promoted and you will get good assignments." Then Boyd raised the other hand and pointed another direction. "Or you can go that way and you can do something for your country, your Air Force and for yourself. If you decide to do something, you may not get promoted and you may not get the good assignments and you certainly will not be a favorite of your superiors. But you won't have to compromise yourself. You will be true to your friends and to yourself. And your work might make a difference. To be somebody or to do something. In life there is often a roll call. That's when you will have to make a decision. To be or to do? Which way will you go?"
