Re: [FRC Blog] FIRST on TV, Chairman's Award Resources, & Open Slots

I love the new openness surrounding Chairman's - it's great to see all of the different approaches that teams take to earn the award.

Additionally, and I'm not sure that this is phrased well, I think this will force teams to be a little more honest in their submissions. Previously, there wasn't a lot of accountability for the claims made in the submission, since judges don't have a solid way to fact-check everything, but now that submissions are public, hopefully teams won't stretch the truth. I personally haven't seen much of this, but I've heard from others that it's sometimes an issue.
