It is my understanding that the reason FIRST implemented the video thing in the 1st place was to provide a way for teams to communicate how they pursue Chairman's.
That was the idea. The reality was FIRST found out how much difficulty students have creating a watchable video that is 'on task'.
They could have abandoned the idea but have chosen to keep it. I agree with keeping it. I think it will take 5 or more years for enough teams to wrap their head around how to properly produce a video.
It is taking a lot longer to get this off the ground than some people realized.
I don't think we are at the point where we should require judges to consider the video in their judging, especially considering that was not the original purpose of the video in the 1st place.
Bottom line: they should do a video, but I want to wait a couple of more years before we require it to be adjudicated.
