I think one of the best ways would be to document the build process. Show pictures to the judges of the prototypes that your team went through before you were able to finalize your award winning design.

You could create a poster or a flow chart to show the design process at it's various stages. In the past, our team discussed using the idea to show the judges why we decided to use hockey sticks for our arm in '07 and '08. We could have shown them some strength to weight ratios that we discussed and ultimately explain why we went with the sticks as opposed to wood, aluminum ETC.

Make sure the members of your team can all talk to the judges about your design because you never know which team ember the judges will end up talking too. And bring your trophy with yout o Atlanta and put it in your pit. If a judge comes by invite them over to talk to your team, you don't always have to wait for them to come to you. Be polite, be excited and you will do fine.

Hope this helps. Congrats on your award and good luck at Championship!
