Neither of those truly reflects the real game.
FIRST has some way of testing the game before kickoff. I don't know what it is, but the week 1 regionals aren't the first time the game gets played. Somehow, it has to involve driving real robots around on a real field.
The problem with releasing such a video is that part of the game is figuring out how it will be played. If we all got to watch a few real matches on Kickoff day, it would completely change the build season. Perhaps the video could be released a week or so before ship date - late enough that it won't affect anyone's design, but early enough to be studied to death and to have questions clarified in the Q&A.
