I know the WFFA is strongly biased towards technical mentors (just read the description or judging criteria in the rulebook), but it seems to me that a well written essay for a deserving non technical mentor could win as well. I had the chance to read the nomination my students submitted for me this year, and I know the focus of the submission was communication, leadership, and impact - technical aspects were really a sideshow. I also know the 2015 WFA winner quite well, and his impact on FIRST here in Minnesota has not been technical at all - communication, leadership, organization, sustained growth, mentoring support, all amazing aspects he brings to the table. But from my experience he doesn't really get into the technical stuff.

Our team leader won WFFA in 2012 (I think). The only involvement she has with our robots involves her credit card.
