Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Judges Information for the Team Yearbook

I see the problem. The info is useful to funders and planners when its aggregated, but may not tell the whole story to judges looking at one team or another. Our students come from 16 different schools and homeschools, so there really isn't an answer to school questions for us. If your budget incs. hosting regional events, public demos, travel for all students and adult mentors, it doesn't mean its easy to build a rockin' robot...of course not. It's hard work, alot of fundraising, and alot of green paint... then you still sweat out every match and admire the teams that out-score and out-play you. (We really do, BTW.)

On another note, judging is hard. I appreciate that they show up to do it anyway. Maybe there's better, more meaningful info to help them--
