Think about how you present yourself in the real world. Whether it be for a scholarship or for a job. Most will ask that you present a resume and then follow up with an interview. Most resumes are one to two pages, we get four. We also have interviews to present ourselves too. I think this way makes it easier for FIRST to make the best choice and not the flashiest on a tape. They take the team with the best credentials and personality for the award.

As for extra video footage. Last year my team created a thirty-minute i-movie which we ran parts of in our pit, we use it for promotions around my town and state, and we even put it onto dvd and sold some as a small fundraiser.

As for the move to MSWord. It has to deal with accessabilty. Most everyone can use MSWord or convert to it. And possibly that Microsoft is a big sponsor of FIRST influence their decision.
