Even if all 3 alliance partners had a 1 minute video (which is fairly unlikely), the drive teams would still probably have enough time to watch them.
I misunderstood the video concept. I thought it each team gives out or posts somewhere a showcase video, and teams would watch this like Friday evening after the day's qualification rounds and pick from there.
