Edit: Here is the post that mentions posting essays on usfirst.org: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...6&postcount=12
It was announced in Oct. 2011 that starting in 2012, all winning RCA written submissions would be posted on the usfirst.org site within a week of earning the award.

The recording can be found here: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...nce-recordings

When I inquired a couple of weeks ago I was told that it was not being implemented this year.

I was disappointed. It's not the fact-checking I am interested in. It's the inspiration.
