2. Having said that, can someone give me any insight into the judging for Engineering Inspiration? Some say it's runner up RCA but if you read what FIRST posts, it is not. Do the EI judges see the RCA write ups or is all the info gained by floor interviews?
Wendy, You are quite welcome.

RE: EI. Some people see it as a runner up to RCA because it offers a precious slot at CMP and the teams earning the EI award are often RCA material. But the criteria is different. I cannot answer what happens at every event. Unless the system has changed recently, it is supposed to be judged in the pits. But the RCA judges, although they are doing their own thing, also spend some time in the judges room. Whether they give input or not is up to the Judge Advisor.
