This is exactly it for many teams. 148 did not submit for any of those 3 last year, but this year we have 12 more students than we did last year, and so we had enough to work on that and still dedicate the same number of students to building the robot.
Also, interest and enthusiasm from the students is important. This year we had a student who was enthusiastic about working on Chairman's, and one on Website, and they took the lead on those areas. Last year, we didn't. It makes a big difference when a student WANTS to work on an award, and not just because it needs to be done.
