Anna, and anyone that is writing a CA essay, if I could give one piece of advice it would be to write what seems right for your team. Remember, the judges have read your summary and already know about the bullet points that you think make your team CA worthy (every team is CA worthy, the problem is only one can win per event). Rather than restate every point in your essay it is a chance to let your team's personality shine.
Take a look at some of the past winners' essays and the teams that they belong to. WildStang's can be found
here and is buisness professional whereas Falcon Robotics found
hereis more of a fictional story, both are completely different but do the same job of showing the personality of the teams they belong to. Just start writing and see what comes out!
If you have any questions feel free to email me at
k.vanantwerp@gmail.com I'm more than willing to read over your essay and give suggestions.
