New Submission Format for Chairman's Award

[Shawn]

Doing a community event and writing about it for submission into the Chairman's Award is no less shameful than documenting it on film. I personally think that it is perfectly fine. The way I see it, the Chairman's Award inspires teams to reach out. Sure, they are motivated by winning the award, but honestly, how many teams would do community events without this motivation in mind? I'm sure a few teams out there wouldn't worry about that if there was nothing in it for them. Granted, there are plenty of teams out there who don't care about an award and would love to do that kind of thing on a regular basis.

Anyways, what I'm saying is that FIRST wants us to reach out to the community. And if they want us to present all that we've done to them, shouldn't we be allowed to do it in the best manner that accomplishes this? And FIRST is all about science and technology. We have people wanting to be animators or engineers.... Why not open up a career of video editing to them too?
