Re: Video Required for Chairmans

About a year or so ago, after we launched FIRST Objective, I made a suggestion to our community that teams make videos out of their Chairman's Award presentations. FIRST Objective is heavily based on videos, and our intention is to use these videos to show the world what FIRST is all about. I figured that if teams made videos that showcased everything they did throughout the year, it would be a great way to get schools to start new teams.

After suggesting teams make videos from CA presentations, I didn't get a lot of great feedback from our little community. I still feel that this is a great opportunity for teams to tell everyone what they do and why. With a video, you're not only telling the judges, you could be potentially telling the world.

With that said, I don't think it is unreasonable for FIRST to require teams to submit a video. Come on, it doesn't take a lot of $$ to put together some sort of video, and it would be great for more people to see what we do.

As an engineer, I've had to work in situations where I had to produce something without all the necessary tools. That's just life... deal with it.
