Our team had several judges come by on all days, however, most of them wanted to hear about the robot and our sustainability plan. It helped that we had two fairly large banners which outlined our program as well as 2 15 lbs binders on each side with a sustainability and safety binder as well.

I think its safe to say that there is no set criteria that we have seen for the CA in the pits, other than certain judges (including some of the same ones) have interviewed some of our CA team members more than once in recent years.

I would also assume that in a short period of time and roughly 50 presentations held on 1 day (Thursday), that the submissions were read ahead of time, which sparked the interest of certain judges to certain teams.

We made it a point to show our 3 minute video during our 10 minute presentation. However, the one twist was that it had NO sound.
The entire narration was done "live" by our 3 member team.
