Re: Chairman's Award Concerns

When we do events with other teams, and this is a lot of our events, we try to stress that to the judges. Our off season event is co-hosted by most of the central Ohio teams, with 4-5 teams all doing a lot of work. We did a rookie kit bot build in cooperation with 3262 from Northland High School and we did a series of demonstrations at the eTech Ohio conference in cooperation with 3264 from Metro High School. We try to get thank you letters,pictures and/or video from our events, in order to document them.

I just told our presentation team to record a practice session for our presentation so that we can put it on our YouTube channel. I think we will plan on trying to do this every year. Hopefully we can include it in the iBook as well. I do want to stress to those trying to learn from the videos that while the formal presentation is important, the Q&A with the judges afterward is just as if not more important.
