Re: Rookie Award
Our team won it in 2009. In our case, we had done some grade 8 days where they learned some basic electronics stuff, I believe we had founded some FLL teams our robot was alright, and we treated everyone else very well.
As another poster said, think of Rookie All-Star as Rookie Chairmans, and do the same things that tend to win chairmans: Get the word of STEM in general and FIRST in particular out to your community. Starting new teams, involving policymakers (from local to state to federal), getting on TV, running workshops are all good things to do to get a solid Rookie All-star or chairmans attempt on track.
I've always thought of Rookie Inspiration as the runners-up to Rookie All-Star. They had a good package, but not as good as the all-star team.
