I like that idea a lot, for some reason.

The one thing that I'm sure of concerning the Chairman's Award and Executive Summary is that teams should at least fill out the ES. It's not like filling out the ES will prevent a team from fielding a robot - it's one sheet of paper. It's really not that much to handle. More importantly, though, FIRST needs the feedback. The ES is one of the tools that FIRST is using to help refine and better the program and competitions for future years, and making the program that much greater for the future FIRSTers. I feel that almost everyone involved with FIRST would have to agree that that's a good thing.
