Re: [FTC]: Judging Session and Student Ideas

Regarding foreign languages: introductions or "color language" would be good for getting noticed, actually presenting in a different language is probably a bad idea unless your judges are fluent (which you probably don't have a guarantee of).

Scripting your presentation immediately sets you ahead-- especially since you're a rookie team, coming into judging prepared will give you a leg up immediately.

Fill your presentation with as much content as you actually have-- explaining the robot, explaining what your team's strengths in regards to a certain award are, etc are all valid strategies. Don't have "filler time" or repeat content that isn't important.

Good luck at your tournament!
