2018 would be the earliest possible year to push for.

True. As I read the document, 2017 would be a year to do a number of things to prepare, including lots of volunteer recruiting/training and lots of team educating on the "finer points"--example, more matches means more robot maintenance, so build strong. Essentially, build a foundation so that districts can hit the ground running.
