Hello Dan,

Thank you for bringing this question to light. While it is our goal to know as much information as possible, you are correct in that we cannot get every team's essay, or every team's video, or know about every outreach event that a team hosts. However, we do know quite a bit - several of NEforecast's team members have experience writing Chairman's Awards for their own FRC teams and in that process, they learn more about their competitors' submissions. We also get small bits of data from other sources - the judges' speeches at events about winning teams, the winning teams' videos (if presented), on team websites, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and more.

We hope this answered your question. If not, please do not hesitate to contact us again!

Like they say on GameSense, we don't take ourselves too seriously, and we hope you don't either. We do it for the fun and we hope you enjoy our predictions.
