I understand your point. However, the issue remains. FIRST, not just your robots, the entire contest is a problem too big for the time it's given.

August leaves 10 days.
September they build the documents and the rules.
October and November they setup the kits of parts.
December is anything that rolls over and of course countless holidays.
January, February and March is already too late.

So in reality I've disclosed them to FIRST now.
If I wait until after next season who knows what might happen.

If I levy that sort of consequence on FIRST what might they do?
Cause clearly other people have openly declared risk before that was not mitigated.

It's not just about shifting a few days. It's about the body politic.
