The best GP training I can think of is to attend regional competitions full of Chairman's-Award-winning teams.

I agree.
I also see the need.
- The HoF comes to mind as a wonderful resource.
- Examples of what is ok and what isn't.
Teams are great at developing videos/animations that promote safety.
GP could be 'modeled' in a similar fashion.
I understand what you are saying, Alan.
I think there are ways to get the GP factor out there helping to introduce rookie teams into the FIRST community and helping veteran teams keep it fresh.
