Agreed again, 2nd the motion.

Every team has to have an intrinsic motivator. Every team has to determine their mission and how to best operate in their 'space'. That team has to determine their mission, and explain to the judges how their results align and complement the FIRST vision and mission.

The day that Chairman's judges starts box checking and point scoring is the day that innovation and entrepreneurship in pushing the mission of FIRST ends!
