However, to get the award you need to demonstrate strong community outreach as well as show that your are going to be a great team in upcoming years. So, therefore you also need to prove that you are capable of making a somewhat decent robot. Just try to do 1-2 things well on your robot. Now as a recap more community outreach = better chance at Rookie All-Star, but a better robot = better chance to be selected for an alliance at Worlds if you can find a balance between the two you should qualify for Worlds and have a shot during alliance selections.

Oh, cool, thank you for the advice!
