Re: FIRST Spoken Word Poetry (for chairman's)

I would say a job well done. Really catches the viewers attention. Though by doing the same thing for three minutes, I noticed myself getting distracted at some point but the final summary was really strong again and hooked me back in.
Unlike most other video's you use the power of your voices really well, emphesizing the important aspects of your video which is something a lot of people can learn from you guys.

The only thing I am missing is photo's and video's showing your efforts (all though I don't know what the collage's in your essay are like). This would increase the impact of the video even more in my eyes.

That's just what I've heard, though, in general, the importance of the chairman's video (regarding its role in being chosen for the award) is more or less ambiguous within FIRST.
Regarding the impact of the video. From what I have heard the video's of the top 3 teams are being watched but I don't know if it is only to see wether it is to inspect if they are up to standards or if it actually has a serious impact in the disicion making. Though if they indeed watch the video's of the final thee before diciding then I do beleave it will have some inpact.

All in all really great job! And good luck @ your competition(s)
