OK, I think I might understand some of the confusion. Team 3466 has NASA as a sponsor. The NASA grant requires a "Chairman's" submission to NASA as part of the grant requirements, see below. This is not a requirement of the Rookie All Star award.
If you plan on bringing that to the Boston Regional with you and giving it to the judges, make sure you give them a copy, not the original, the judges are not responsible for returning material given to them (although many try to).
I would also again stress that you
summarize your achievements in a single page bullet point list for the judges. There are 6 rookies at the Boston regional and it is not likely the judges will have the time to review 6 10,000 character essays as part of the judging process (note, Chairman's Award judges are different in this sense, RCA submissions are submitted ahead of time and have time to be reviewed before the interview process).

Remember, teams accepting NASA robotics competition grants are agreeing to the following critical items:
1. Complete BOTH the Entrance Survey and Exit Surveys for all team members.
2. Provide NASA with a copy of the team's Chairman's Award Submission or an equivalent document.
3. Build a robot and compete at the awarded event.
