2013 Lessons Learned: The Negative

[Pat Hart]

FIRST compares the competition to the sports world and Einstein is the Super Bowl of the mind. With this thought, the matches on Einstein should be the most approachable and entertaining matches for the general public. However, the long delays between matches remove the excitement and tension of the moment. The result is a series of matches that become tedious for outside viewers.
A reason sports are entertaining is the tension created by the pace at which things happen. It is difficult to sustain the excitement for eight 2 minute matches across 4 hours. To change perceptions and culture the matches need to remain exciting for viewers across all backgrounds.
