FIRST has greatly limited what we can do with the initial Chairman's Award entry... but they still are doing interviews with each team. These interviews mostly take place in the pit. That's where your creativity should be placed.

You can still do a video. You can still do a powerpoint presentation. Now, it's just gotta be shown in your pit... during your interview. So... not only should you include your writing experts, now you need to involve your school's theatre department!

So... last year's video (or other) presentation was supposed to be 10 minutes long... this year's needs to be shorter (3-5 minutes), and you get to do it LIVE. I'd say that this ADDS to the creative challenge.

So... build your kiosks, create your story boards, write your scripts, shoot your video clips, plan your pit layout accordingly. We are.

Well said, Andy.

That's pretty much what we decided. Even though we are limited to what we can do with our submission, we'll work with it. There's not much else we can do!

Our team is still going to make a video. Team promotional items are always good to have on hand, anyways.
