Re: Chairman's Feedback Forms

While no CA honorable mentions have been made in recent years, I would assume that the verbal feedback to our students in 2008 and 2009 are some indication of recognition in the 2008 CMP EI and 2009 CMP Judges award. Our team has never won an EI award at a regional ever.

My CA team indicated to me that there were two sets of judges, 1 for 2 divisions each. Has this been done since when? IDK.

I firmly believe that the decision for a "set" of teams are already decided in large part prior to CMP, and that the 10 minute interview provides more/less validation to what was submitted. I also believe that the video in large part counts and is high stakes. As stated in the rules, an inappropriate video can hurt your chances of winning (or disqualify you). I'm going to interpret it as having to be CMP quality that FIRST would be proud to show the world.

As for having divisional and/or more than 1 award, in comparison to the no. of robot competition awards, I think the current format is fine and that the tradition of having the perpetual trophy with 1 new team added each year is a great one.
