Personally, I like that FIRST is giving teams a way to recognise and commemorate their best mentors. My team has had two WFFA's over the past 8 years, and as unfortunate as it is, both have had to stop mentoring due to family commitments. That means that the current students don't know what those two mentors did for the team to help bring us to the point where we are now. There's nothing in the build space or trophy case to indicate it ever happened. With a trophy or banner, there will be something there on display to prompt questions and discussions, and give us a better avenue for educating the current team on our own team history.

I also agree with the Dean's List Comment - there should be something for Dean's List Finalists to display at their schools. These are the peer role models for all of our students, the people who show what these students are truely possible of. Rather than a banner, I think a miniature version of the trophy they get at champs would be awesome - give the students two when they accept the finalist award - one for them, one for their school.
