At the NYC Regional last year storyboards (or poster boards) were very affective in conveying information to the judges that visited the pit. Judges visiting the Pit are interviewing each team to find out as much about the team as possible. These interviews and actions by "ALL" members of the teams are brought back to the judges deliberation room for discuss. (so watch what you say and do).

(I remember one incident with a team out side a hallway; as a judge was walking by, he over heard a comment a team member was making about another team. The judge took down his team number and may have caused the team an award)

At the Chairman’s Award interview it is up to the team to decide how they want to present themselves. There is no set rules on what works and what doesn’t.
I personally believe the one-on-one conversation with the Chairman’s judges tense to motivate and impress the judges more than powerpoints.
Good luck to all CA teams.
