I agree with some of the comments above. Why fix what isn't broken? Youtube is an outstanding platform for video sharing. Something where you could display the uploads from YT playlists or channels would probably be the best/most useful because lots of teams already have channels. (Teams could designate what account is 'theirs', you would be able to see when there are new uploads - like Jon said above me.)

Also, make sure nothing on your site has copyrighted material that doesn't belong to the uploader. For both legal and just plain ol' logical reasons. For example, rehosting the Kickoff/animation videos...Not only are those copyrighted, but you'd be taking away views from the official FIRST youtube channel (FIRSTWorldTube) which would stray viewers away from the correct messaging and branding.

Think of it this way: If you rehost the animation, and then someone clicks through to 'your' channel and sees your personal videos, are they going to take FIRST seriously? If they go to the FIRST channel, they'll have access to more information on FIRST, more videos, and have clear links to get to the FIRST website for more information and to get involved. Which one sounds better to you?
