I like this addition. It allows us to show our robot off to companies and sponsors more closely to the time when we're demanding money and services from them. It allows us to demonstrate the sponsorship -> robot -> competition process.

I dislike the debate that's attached with this rule change. Hopefully FIRST clarifies in greater depth what "demonstration" is, so we don't have to suffer through another 1,000+ post thread. (cue 1,000+ post thread)
