I understand that. The problem is that about half of the entire match was focused on ONE robot, with NO other robots even in their zone. Twice. In a row. People want to see more than one robot! I bet there were some folks who wanted to see 254, 25, 233, 330, and 1622, yet their robots only showed up briefly in those two matches because the camera people were really only showing one robot of the six on the field. Not only that, but the camera folks missed a tipped/righted robot and almost all the scoring on the blue end of the field, because the one robot was occupying their attention most of the time. It wasn't until just about the Finale that they started showing other robots a lot more, when they started opening up and heading for the towers.
