As for learning about the teams and "what they are all about" - a visit to team websites can give anyone a good idea. Here are a few:
2003 - Team 103: look under "award entries" for actual submissions from the past three years.
2002 - Team 175: All major outreach initiatives are listed and explained.
1992 & 1994 - Team 191: I highly recommend the "history" section that provides one page for each year of the X-Cats evolution. Cool stuff.
The Award and all historical winners are listed here:

Rich, I'm probably in the wrong thread here and should move over to CA. I agree those are all great resources. However, since many of the teams that would benefit the most from learning about what is happening around the country will not be at the Championship, since it would be so easy (4 page electronic submission) to post this years winners on a site and since most of the teams who won this year have not posted their entry (thanks go out to 811, the only one from the first two weeks of regionals who has) and since so many teams don't even have a functioning website! I'm really trying here. Do you really think it is impractical for FIRST to post all this year's Regional winning entries?
