Ahhh, could be true, but I think that because it's one vote per team, and it should be a "team decision", it wouldn't get too biased. With the caliber of teams out there, I don't think they're gonna vote for their best friend team who had no exciting plays just because they're best friends.
Since these awards are "fun", I don't think anyone has any reason to be biased, including the volunteer staff. It's just for fun... But, giving votes to the general team population gives a nice large average and would probably ensure that at least someone on every team has seen every match. By having the field crew decide the awards, it takes part of the "fun" out of it for the teams. Besides, as mentioned before, the field crew has enough to think/worry about. If they're gonna let the team students judge animations, why the heck shouldn't the teams judge these fun awards?
I think someone (I don't know who though! - who started this thread?

) should find out if this is do-able, either through FIRST, or a team that wants to do it.
just my thoughts....
