Hi....
I can appreciate the teams' need for the dealine to be pushed back for the reason mentioned as well as others.....
The reason the deadline for profiles with robot name and team nickname etc...is asked for so early, is because getting all that (correct) information for 300-400 teams in the programs is quite a feat! FIRST needs time to get all that to the printer and the printer needs time to get it into the program for FIRST to proof and then print the thousands of copies we need...then have it shipped in time to make it to the first regional the first weekend in March! We have printing deadlines, so we have to pass those deadlines onto the teams. I know it's hard sometimes, but we give as much time as we possibly can so that all the information can get into the programs....we know how important it is for your correct information to make it into the program. It's great to see your team in the book...so that's why we can't push the deadline any further out. I hope that helps!
