Re: Are awards given at random somewhat?
During the awards ceremony, I like to play a game where I guess the winning team of each award. Over the years I've gotten pretty good at this game, this year I barely made any mistakes at the regional level. This level of predictability makes think the judges were doing a good job, and in my opinion shows that there was very little randomness in their procedures.
The judges at FIRST events work incredibly hard to ensure the "right" team gets recognized. Granted the system isn't perfect, but more often than not they do get it right.
