I think that the video should either be judged or taken out completely.
I believe you should be able to submit CA at every district/regional that you compete with your robot at, but only be allowed to win at one event.
Overall: the fact that the Chairman's Award exists at all is outstanding, and I commend FIRST for recognizing teams in this way.

It needs to be more visible at the events.
MSC was the only event that gave teams booths to show what they are about. At other event the only time the general public even know the award exist at ll is on Saturday afternoon at the end of the awards ceremony.
It's treated more like a golden ticket than a creed to live by.
