Are there videos available from teams from years previous (before Chairman’s Award entries had to be confined to four sheets of paper) that show what FIRST meant to them, how it tied into the community and what it’s really all about that could get the point across in a short period of time in an assembly?
There's some videos on our press site.

I don't have advice about an assembly, but keep in mind - woo the educational advisors. Altho this is our 8th year, our advisors didn't know about robotics, and thus didn't suggest it to students til recently. A vice principal at MCHS didn't learn about robotics til recently. Science and math teachers should know about it and recommend it.

What's helping us this year - We always make sure we're in school bulletins regularly, and a new PTA president has a weekly email she started - she's awesome at including our team's stuff.
