I say this because i know who judges them at the regional level, which is peers, and i know they look for the most spectacular one. (or though it seems). My question is what do the judges look for at nationals? I thought the one that won at St. Louis regional this year was far better than the one that won a Nationals.

And if the rising star award is only giving at Nationals, does the winning team have to be present? I'm asking all these questions because i only got one shot at this before I'm done and off to collage. My goal is to take the award. Should i submit the video as a normal veteran even though i qualify for Rising star?
FIRST seems to favor content over visual aesthetics. They like animations that tout FIRST or are informative. They certainly don't like clever concepts. Those do well on the regional level.
