I'm so confused! I meant to say Peter, to whom I was replying, will get the awards, not Tom.
Anyway, I'm not sure how much marketing I want to do either. I prefer to let the robot's performance speak for itself. I will answer anyone's questions; but I will not go out of my way to brag about our robot's capabilities. When the judges come over we have the students do all the talking.
What bothers me more than marketing is when a team exaggerates about their capabilities. If you know your robot can only hold 5 floppies reliably, then don't say you can hold 8 or 10! This can have an impact on the strategy used.
In conclusion, I agree with Peter that I would like to see for myself rather than get a pamphlet.
Raul
