I heard rumors during the competition season last year of an idea bouncing around at FIRST for a new surface...how likely that will be remains to be seen, however

-Chairman's due at the end of the Competitions
While this would be nice for timing purposes, looking at the award structure as a whole, it's not really possible...with the regional chairman's awards this year, it's a requirement that the submisson date is before the first week of regionals. As well, with the amount of time that is put into viewing the various entries, and considering that there is at most 2 weeks currently between ship date and the first set of regional events, it is not viable to have a "bring it to your event with you" policy, nor would this be fair to all teams as it would create a "floating" submission date, rather than a fixed "out of your hands by this date" scenario. The only truly viable way that the Chairman's award submission could be restructured is if the requirements for the coming season were released in the fall, as that would give teams time before the build season to start work on it, and the only things that would need to be added were those aspects of the submission based on the build. Even if FIRST did not go officially to this type of format, it is still a way that teams could prepare for the coming season. Using the award requirements from the previous year, develop your entry during the off season, and then adjust or add to it as needed throughout the build season, perhaps even shipping it on the same date as the robot, maybe even with the robot(?).
