Re: off-season work/marketing/sponsorships
Well, if it is your senior year I'd suggest you choose one award to focus on and work hard at it. Each award is pretty self-explanatory. If teams you respect have won those awards, go check their website and even email them if you have questions. They might help you with it. Get the whole team involved and put them in the center of the effort. This way, they will have fun with it and maybe your school will start caring about the other aspects of FIRST also. Sometimes, people don't care because they don't know. Sometimes, they also don't have the time or don't want to put in the effort. An award like Chairmans does take atleast a couple years of concentrated effort and even then there is no guarantee. However, you have to keep working at it and putting yourself in the pool.
