Ok......well lets put aside the that I'm part of 612 aside for a while....
I've been a judge assistant over the course of last year and I've also worked with the judges to get them know the teams and FIRST as a whole.
DISCLAIMER!!!: I've been a robot inspector to every event 612 has attended.
Judges don't look for how many times a team has won a chairmans. Infact half of them don't even know about it. They look at which team embodies FIRST and its message the most.
And heres my personal opinion about this. On a regional level, I think submissions/essay means the most and interviews are just to make an impression. But at Naitonal level, Interviews count heavily as judges are looking for how well you can represent FIRST and your team to the outside world.
As for this year, there are previous winners, five time winners, first time winners, and some well noted Honorable Mentions on the list. Good Luck Teams!!
