That would be very interesting to see.

Often those sponsors help pay for the event so you can play robot. It can easily be no sponsor = no event. If they want to run their commercials they can knock themselves out.

Within reason, I agree.

But I'd like to make sure that FIRST regionals don't get TOO commercialized.

I don't view them as commericals; I view them as sponsor acknowledgements, like the ones on PBS and NPR. They're not in the business of selling airtime like almost every other TV and radio network; they just want to acknowledge their very generous sponsors.
