But if you're in the stands and you aren't watching matches that your team is competing in, then I think you have a problem. You at least want to see if it works, right? If you don't want to watch the matches in the stands, then you may as well stay in the pit area and keep talking to other teams, if that's possible (read: mentor may say, "You will watch all of our matches"), instead of going to "watch" one of your team's matches and instead not-caring it.

I'll agree in that case, just wanted to be clear that there are many things to do at an FRC competition that some people think are more important than watching matches.
