8PM most other shows will be 8:30PM. Sorry about the confusion.

That is not why.

I do not know the real reason however, it could be a number of things.

One big reason I am sure is the fact that FUN has a smaller fan base then 254. 254's robot reveal is always a big deal. Last year for instance they had huge hype around a single photograph released at 2:54pst before their first event.

But who cares! There are some very good teams premiering tonight and I am extremely excited!

Some may have seen our reveal video on FIRST Updates Now, and it didn't really show a ton of robot action. So here's a video that shows nothing but robot action.

It's quite likely that's at least part of it.

It also allows them to surprise their opponents for the first few matches if they haven't seen a widespread reveal video.

Interestingly, the Superfluous Drill Count only made it to 5 the entire night.
