Utilizing breaks between matches.

[matthewdenny]

Let's assume there are 90 matches or so other than elimination matches.

Show the sponsors video about once an hour (15 times).

Give teams the option to compose a ~3 min video about their team. Maybe half do it. (25 segments)

Game animation every couple hours (10 segments)

Show the chairman awards winner or not (5-10 segments)

A couple videos about the history of first and previous games (5 segments)

Let teams spend Thurs & Friday having to heir media people going around interviewing teams demoing their robot on practice fields making at the event 3 min videos for Saturday. (5-10 videos)

Add in a few dance songs maybe 1 an hour (YMCA, Gangnam Style, etc) 15 segments.

That gets ~75 segments filled. I think if FIRST want events to be a sports atmosphere it needs to look at how stadiums keep the crowds interested during time outs and commercial breaks. You don't want to have multiple 5+ minute breaks every hour with people just sitting there waiting on the field.
