No, you do not have to send in three members before normal opening time. However, by not doing so, you a) add to the traffic problem with everyone standing in and around the pit, b) have less time to uncrate and test the robot before the first practice match, and c) make things harder on the guys who haul the crates away. There may be more reasons not to as well, these are just the ones I thought of.
