It is a choice for teams. Personally we have yet to decide for this year.

It is a personal decision. Some teams prefer to show the video and then add to it, others prefer to do entire presentations with similar info but separate from the video.

I personally always encourage the teams I work with to do a presentation instead of showing the video because I think it is really awkward to just stand there holding a screen for judges to watch. I feel like the information has more impact coming directly from the student presenters.

But, again, I state, it is a personal decision. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' way, both ways are accepted and within the rules. I am sure teams have done well with both.

Miss Daisy did this for their 2010 Championship Chairman's Award winning presentation, so if it works for your team, go for it! You can check out Miss Daisy's Chairman's Presentation here: http://youtu.be/d93j7wOBP84

It is an option to show your video to the judges, though just keep in mind that it does take up 3 minutes of your presentation time.

We see the video more as a vehicle to tell other teams and the community about the work we do. It also helps explain to everyone in the stands why you won the award when it's announced if they remember to show it!

I don't think this is a uniform practice, at least it's not what's specified by the manual.

Although the Chairman’s judges will not be judging your video as part of your submission, a VIDEO with inappropriate content will disqualify a team for the award.
So it appears that the standard way of doing things is to have the JA watch the videos, but I'm sure there are cases like you've described where the review process is delegated to an assistant.

Re: Chairman's Video Submission

Let me clarify some things, first of all.

The Chairman's video is a REQUIREMENT to have at the event, but its purpose is to show on the screen at the awards ceremony when you win. It is NOT judged or used as a part of the decision process. This is outlined in the manual, but also something I have been told by multiple judges and judge advisors.

Also, the video that you hand to judges needs to be a DVD, not a CD. And, it needs to be in a DVD format, as in it is playable in a standard DVD player, not just a disk with the video file on it. You need to use a software that will write it into a standard DVD format. You need software to do this, just adding a video file to a DVD in Windows Explorer will NOT be in the correct format.

The USB option is just a video file on a USB flash drive.

Secondly,

The question in the original post was about submitting the video via STIMS in the award submission, which was required last year for the first time. It was a YouTube link that you had to enter, in ADDITION to providing the physical copy of the video at competition. However, the area in STIMS where that was supposed to be was grayed out this year, so it had a section for video upload, but no way to enter it in. FIRST has said that that option would be open after the award closed, but since the award is closed, the awards submitters cannot access the submission. This is the problem that many of us are questioning.
