I, personally, would like to see at least the ES, if not a full chairman's become mandatory. In the past few years, i've seen a disturbing trend of FIRST moving more towards a "battlebots" ::gasp, she said battlebots!:: mindset on some teams. I think that if teams were "forced" to look back and reflect on their team and their FIRST experience, it might help move us collectively as an organization further away from the winner-take-all mentality that's so pervasive in our society. The one-page executive summary shouldn't be so burdensome and time consuming that all teams can't take a few minutes to fill it out. I don't know, just my $.02.
