You're building an offseason robot. You're training freshmen. You're doing sponsor relations. If you're not out there with a video camera at various points in all of those, you should be. Start getting your video now. (Trust me. There's a team who got some of their video footage either a year before or a day before--I want to say a YEAR before--their submission.) You can edit later, and do any reshoots/updates later. (Actually, just as a thought, that could really work in your favor--the updates part, that is.)


Also, Andrew does know how long the RCA takes. He's been on a team of that caliber. I wouldn't assume that someone doesn't because they seem to blow it off.



That being said, that is two weeks less time than for the 2014/2015 season, which opened at the same time and closed right after build, and with no announcement. Not sure why.
