Re: Chairman's Interview

I think each team's situation is different. Our eventual goal is to have students do the Chairman's presentation by themselves. However, we are not a suburban school with an abundance of students able and willing to do such a presentation. A few of the students who are most familiar with the team and the most outspoken are on this year's drive team, and they can't be on the Chairman's panel, as they are too busy in the pits. We are a hand-on student team where robot building and design is concerned, with the students doing the work on the bot under the supervision and direction of the mentors. That's where we're at for Chairman's as well, but at this point the students actually prefer to have one of the adult mentors in the room with them to supervise and observe. It also lets me evaluate their performance and helps us to improve for the next year.
