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.

You make a great point about the team number. I'll change that to the team name at the bottom!
As far as video goes, a press release is often intended to be printed out by the newspaper, TV station, radio station, etc. They'll often like to see attachments, video, and links with the email that you send them! In the future (probably in time for next season, if not the last few off-season events of the year) you'll be able to attach videos and pictures, and send the press release right from the pop-up window. For now, I would recommend putting/attaching them to the email that you paste into!
