Maybe a 4 page essay puts takes the emphasis off spending time to win an award and changes it to spending more time actually doing what FIRST is really about- getting more kids involved.

The process of going after the chairman's award was crystalizing to our team where we needed to pick up the ball and run with it.
We were able to do both - go after the chairman's award, and get the word out to nearly double our team #'s, get a lot of publicity in the papers... Just haven't had ANY luck finding a team to mentor. We personally contacted local private and public schools without teams. Only one bite. We might be mentoring a lego team for a small private school. Our mentor is informally mentoring a team in the town where he works. We're spending time getting SCRRF off the ground tho.
