And I can think of at least one of the Chairman's videos being changed to say "other robotics teams" when released to the public rather than "VEX robotics teams" (which was the version shown live at the Championship).
It's also been no secret that the Chairman's award focuses on FIRST related outreach, especially with the changes to the online submission short answers questions starting in 2014.
I doubt you're going to ever hear FIRST say "We don't value non-FIRST outreach" In stead, they've made it clear they have emphasis on FIRST-related outreach.
