A few of the reasons we don't, have already been mentioned but I'll explain a bit more.

It's not really the competitive advantage, is more time, resources and knowledge.

We spend all of our time practicing, programming, and reiterating or robot. There's is no down time during this time of the season. We need to spend as much time as possible using our competition robot before it's bagged. While on 772 we started making release videos and it always took hours to record footage.

We never finish our robot. I've never felt like we are done the robot anymore, it's constant improvements, so it's hard to record a finished robot when we're never actually finished.

I'm sure most people think we have a huge team, but we really don't. Last year we had a larger than normal team, 25 students signed up. And of that not everyone comes and works all the time. During this time most people are doing important work, like programming, driving, reiterating.

We don't have anyone skilled in this area, or anyone showing interest in it. I know I asked about it when I first joined the team, and I was told no body on the team shows any interest in that type of thing. So we're not going to force a student to spend hours and hours making a video that they don't want to make.

I completely get it, I used to hope and hope for a video from 1114 and 2056, but now I understand why they/we don't make one.

We try and help out and inspire as many teams and students as possible. Which is why we release all of our CAD, programming, tutorials, presentations and more. Tour videos would be a good idea, but we already kind of do this type of thing with our engineering note book, it's just not made in video form. You can also look at our prototyping videos we recently uploaded to our YouTube channel to see what happens throughout the season on our team.
