I not sure what motivates me more, the actually winning or just the dream of getting a good seat. :) |

This is great, FIRST. Continuous improvement. I'm also personally happy about the more predictable timing between Einstein matches. None of us want more field errors on Einstein, but having time--known time--between matches after such errors would teams help a lot. |
Re: [FRC Blog] More ‘Something New’ at the FIRST Championship
I really like this change. I'm especially optimistic about the flow of einstein really helping make the biggest stage as exciting as it can be. I wonder if FIRST would consider staggering the lengths of the field time-outs little. I know if I was playing on Einstein I'd happily take four minute timeouts in semis if I got an 8 minute timeout in finals, since I have more matches to get ready.
EDIT: I can't believe I forgot we don't have quarters on Einstein. |

Re: [FRC Blog] More ‘Something New’ at the FIRST Championship
Great improvement by FIRST. More teams that get reconised by FIRST for there outstanding work!
I have one questiong though, hopefully some one can anser it for me: Do you only qualify for E.I. if you have won this award at regional level (the same thing that goes for chairmans) or do all the 100 teams in that division qualify for E.I.? Can't wait to see all the teams in St. Louis again this year!

Re: [FRC Blog] More ‘Something New’ at the FIRST Championship
Alright. I'll be the first person to say I'm not so sure about this.
While I like the idea of certain awards being district level, because many teams deserve Quality awards, Innovation in control and Industrial design; I feel like with certain awards making them district level extremely decreases their sentimental worth. With a lot of teams it's difficult to explain awards like Chairman's to people outside of FIRST, but with things like Imagery it's as simple as: "They said we were the best looking out of the ~200 teams there". Now it's something more like: "They said we were the best looking, but only out of the 60 we were with and 3 other teams also won this award and they were really cool too." The other thing that puzzles me is FIRST tries to stress that EI is not a "second place" to Chairman's. But now that 4 teams win it a year as opposed to 1, and the Championship eligibility is now only for 1 year, they are very unequal (Also on a side note, has anyone noticed that they call it a "Regional Chairman's Award" and an "Engineering Inspiration award"?). While I can't really argue with the way FIRST works, and I'm very gracious to be in it, this kinda gets to me. |

Also, EI has always only given 1 year of qual. Only Champ Chairman's gets lifetime. |

Engineering inspiration isn't 2nd place chairman's and now that is very clear. It's judged differently and now it's awarded differently as well. Championship EI has been a bit of a strange award for awhile anyway. It was often rather quickly overshadowed by the CCA winner. I think by giving it out at the division level it will actually get more recognition. Overall a good change for FRC. |
