Re: Robot Reporter - Robotics Press Releases Made Easy

Just tried it out on the post regional template, works pretty nice... a few comments:

1) "For information on 2530, ... " Referencing the team as just a number would be very confusing to someone unfamiliar with the organization and FRC. We live and breath by the numbers, but the number is almost totally irrelevant to the press and its readers (unless they go to the event !) So maybe an "If you go to the event, look for the robot with the number XXXX" would be useful.

2) Have an option to put in a URL to a match video, and wrap some text around that. I find it helps if the person reading the release can pull up a YT video and instantly see that it has a "visual" potential, as most will think of small robots without getting a visual.
