Having kickoff this same time, with the added stress of getting back into the flow of school, is kind of a detriment in my eyes.

Moving it to later in the year, I think students would be more into the flow of things and would enjoy it better rather than thinking of it as un-needed extra work.
I don't see how high school students are at any time unable to participate in robotics due to a high school workload.
I went to a relatively high ranked public school and I'll say that not once did I feel overwhelmed by the amount of work I was expected to do alongside robotics. I'm not a special case either, many of my friends felt the same. We all had ample time to participate in robotics, study, and play plenty of video games
