I agree, but it depends who your students are. Are they freshman with no knowledge, seniors with design experience, or even freshman who know more about different teams than you do? Unless they are seniors and juniors who have knowledge of previous machines from teams I will show them the best in each section so I know that they have all seen one of the top machines or parts of a robot.
I really like using thebluealliance for showing match strategy and design in action because then you can show kids a match where omnis are useful in some ways, but all the other times when you will be pushed out of the way by defense. It is one thing to tell, tell, tell; however, show and tell is the best option IMHO.
