Robot Unbagging for Chairman's Video

Hey CD,

Not sure if this is the right place, but I was wondering if using our completed 2014 robot in the Chairman's video counted as "Display for Promotional Purposes." Relevant manual section:

Quote:
New this year! To assist teams with their promotional and community relations activities, robots may be unbagged and operated briefly after “Stop Build Day” for display purposes only.

The intent of this option is to allow teams to briefly show their robot to their community, sponsors, or potential sponsors after “Stop Build Day”.
Unbagging a robot and putting it on display for many hours (i.e. more than four (4)) at a time would not be considered a ‘brief’ display
The Robot Lock-Up Form must be used to track the unbagging and rebagging of the robot during this period. In the ‘Explanation’ column of the form, enter ‘Robot Display’
No activity that could be considered ‘work on’ or ‘practice with’ the robot is allowed
Brief displays of robot functions – driving, for example - are allowed, but not to the extent that they could be considered practice
Any ideas? Would unbagging the robot for use in the Chairman's video be considered legal?
