If you are so hot on a video use it for your 5 minute presentation to the judges. The rules say you can do anything in the first 5 of the 10 minute interview. That way you can bring in the AV equipment and such and it isn't FIRST's problem. But I totally agree with FIRST's ruling on the submission to the committee. The winner of the CA should qualify on their merits and not their ability to make a flashy presentation. Heck, it be in favor of leaving out anything but text in the submission but I know that wouldn't happen. Save the creative competition for the Autodesk events. WC ![]() |

Re: Why is FIRST moving backward?
FIRST is definately not moving backwards at all, I would think the decision to move to a common submission requirement would make it obvious. With FIRST growing more and more every year, the time that would be spent watching Chairman's Awards videos would grow too. It was probably getting to the point where it was just taking too long... but the 4 paper submission still gives you the opportunity to easily tell everything your team does. That's what Chairmans is all about, helping people... not making flashy videos.
And if the video thing is important, because making cool videos are fun... you can always include live video in your animation. Or make a promo video for your team, or make a video that shows what you guys are doing so far in the build season at your school. Those are just a few ideas... ![]() |

Re: Why is FIRST moving backward?
I thank all of those who have participated in the thread however you are still not talking about what my original post was commenting on. My comment was that the submission format should still be allowed to be a video. That has nothing to do with what you did to win the award. It has nothing to do with what a team does off the field or what makes the team unique. All it is is a way of presenting that. I'm not saying that it should be all about "flashy videos" as it has been put. All I'm saying is that teams should not be limited to using just Microsoft Word. Obviously it is too late to change anything for this year's competition however, I was looking for a possible change next year
