entertainment between matches

IRI Live was fantastic this year. Here is an interview( of team 118 mentor & student) in between matches.

What does your region do for entertainment between matches ?

What could we do as a FIRST community to make the time between matches more exciting ?

You'd still have the "field timeout" robot cooldown period happening in the playoffs.

And a whole bunch more problems introduced, including but not limited to: extra volunteer duties, larger venue space, and more potential complications with the FMS!

this really would hurt district level events. we already have next to no pit time. also, you'd need about twice the field staff then. again, hurts districts

Re: entertainment between matches

Music and dancing is common at SVR, and although I don't personally participate the other kids get lots of fun out of it.

I see plenty of teams dancing around. I think even Team Rush (Kyle included) get their groove on once in a while.
