Part of this might've been because, especially for a kid, there's not that much excitement in the game itself. The game this year was pretty boring to watch because it's the same thing over and over. I watched a live-stream of the finals at home and my eyes kept drifting to other screens (my tumblr dash, facebook, etc) in the set up I had because watching robots stack totes isn't that interesting, even if some do it faster than others.

The Einstein matches also started horribly late. I was worried I had gotten my timezones mixed up because they started like an hour and a half later than the scheduled time.
