[FIRST Updates Now] Premiere Night 2016

[Justin Montois]

Hey Everyone!

For those who don't know, FUN and FRCTop25 have merged into one. We hope your build season is going great and we can't wait to see all of the incredible machines built to play FIRST Stronghold.

This year, Premiere Night will be March 1st at 8PM EST.

Submissions are due Saturday, February 27th at 11:59PM EST

Premiere Night is a LIVE web show where we Premiere robot release videos for dozens of teams for the first time. Here's an example from 4334, Alberta Tech Alliance that is one of the best we've ever had.

In the past, we have placed restrictions on what teams can release prior to Premiere Night in order to preserve the integrity of the "Premiere" aspect however this year we are changing those rules.

We at FUN want teams to focus on creating well produced robot release videos as well as provide opportunities for teams to share their designs with the FRC Community during build season. For this reason, listed below are the new rules for this year's Premiere Night:

- Videos may not be longer than 90 seconds.

- Your release video cannot be released publicly until after it appears on our show( It is premiere night after all).

- Please upload your video to YouTube as an UNLISTED video. Use the form below to complete your submission for Premiere Night.

We also thought it would be cool if teams hosted watch parties for this event and we have the ability to "check in" with these parties throughout the night. If this interests your team, will out the Skype ID section of the form and we will contact you.

Thanks and we can't wait to see what teams have created!

*Quick Note about teams competing in week .5, you are still more than welcome to submit a video even though you will be competing before it's released.
