You know what, usually I'm not pro frivolous Q&A but in this case since it's a question regarding an actual update... someone with Q&A access SHOULD post this.

This may come as a shock to some but I am in fact pro-frivolous Q&A.

If your robot catches dragon fire, you've been tortuga'd.

Re: Update 12
 
When I first saw the update, I was a little confused on to why they would include this video.

However, I think they used it as a way to get teams to actually read the updates. Many teams don't take the time to stay up to date on the rules past the first week of the season.

This update in particular is important because it talks about a required update to the driver station. In the past, I have gone to tournaments where rookie and fairly new teams initially fail inspection because they do not have the current software packages. I feel that the video was a fun way to remind teams to stay up to date with the robot rules.

If they don't read them in the first place, why would adding a joke video inside of the update make them read it? They'd have to read it to know it is even there.

Humor raises its reptilian head from the GDC...

It has my overwhelming approval...

Tension Breaker.... had to be done...

I would agree with you there. Maybe they hope that word will get out that "a new defense" is being added to the game and more teams will rush to read the update?

I have some high temp insulation panels in my shop. The team can refit the robot with them pretty quickly. I say, bring on the dragon. We can deal with it.

And is it exempt from R9-F?

R9: ROBOT parts shall not be made from hazardous materials, be unsafe, cause an unsafe condition, or interfere with the operation of other ROBOTS.
-F: Any device intended to produce flames or pyrotechnics

I'm laughing at the corollary that there would be, in fact, teams with a room full of gold and priceless gems.
