Re: The Spirit Award - What Is Its Value?
I wish they would expand the definition of the spirit award from more than one sentence. I have been to a few different regionals and it seems each regionals judges take the definition differently. One regional its the team with the most enthusiasm per student, another its the loudest, and another its the team that best acts in the spirit of FIRST.
That being said, my team really values the spirit award as an important award that involves every member of the team. Most of the other awards specifically designate certain members of the team to help go for the award(at least how we plan for them) where as each member of the team has to be involved in this award, along with imagery, EI and chairman's. I think this award should be given to the team that is having the most fun. My FLL team i was on back in 7th grade won three spirit awards, including the New Hampshire state one, and i believe it was because we were just having a blast from the moment we walked in, til the moment we left(well and chanting 666, our team number, made us laugh for all the wrong reasons).
