I don't think that it's seeing someone who has different interests. I think it's seeing someone who has different interests, but pretends that they have the same interest, then when they're where they want to be (or don't want to be), they show that they don't really care. If you're not going to care, why go to the trouble of joining the team, building a robot for 6 weeks, and traveling to the event, just to display your not-caringness to the world?

Not watching your own team's matches while you're at the event is, well, like traveling to your favorite sports team's biggest home game, getting a seat in the stadium, and then not watching the game, only the mascot(s) and other stuff of that nature. You may as well be home paying the bills or mowing the lawn or shoveling snow.
