module 6 of 8
The fastest way to get good at media and outreach is to stop making the same avoidable mistakes everyone else makes. This module catalogs the real pitfalls FRC media teams hit — blurry photos, copyright-struck videos, posting a minor's name against FIRST policy, missing the Impact Award character limits, and dead sponsor logos — and gives you a concrete debugging workflow and fix for each. Treat it as a pre-flight checklist before you shoot, post, or submit.
Common Mistakes & Troubleshooting is module 6 of 8 in the Media, Branding & Outreach guide. It picks up where Worked Examples & Mini-Projects left off and hands over to Advanced Techniques & Case Studies. Its 4 lessons are about 125 minutes of the guide's ~15 hours.
