Re: Why is FIRST moving backward?
First of all, I don't think that by limiting your submission to Word, FIRST has really limited you more then last year. If you want to do your chairman's award submission in something else, there are multiple ways of importing that into word. If all else fails, take a screenshot and import that graphic to word.

However, FIRST may be shooting themselves in the foot with the e-mail submission. Last year, due to a bug in word, team 330's chairman's award submission was 88 megabytes. When zipped, it was only slightly smaller. I don't know of a single e-mail system that will send or receive 88 megabyte attachments correctly.
