Re: Share or not to share CA submissions
I think winners should share their CA submissions. It lets everyone else know exactly why that team is so great.

Believe me, after being on Buzz #175 in high school I know how ambiguous the chairman's award is. We tried everything to win that award: FIRST aid, lego league, community service, the BIG E....
We held a competition at the Big E, (it's like a town fair but a million people go, held in Sprinfield, MA). We spread the FIRST message to 100 thousand people that never heard of FIRST. Hamilton Sundstrand Space Systems spent a HUGE amount of money to pull of the event. Did we win CA that year? Nope.

I think that in the end FIRST just gave it to Buzz because we had literally done everything and they were fearful of us just getting burned out and stop trying.
