But interviewing is great, just i think it should not have a time limit.

Once again I would like to refresh that the Chairman's Award is not about the robot at all, but rather about your team and why it is the team every other team in the competition should emulate. This also includes the word continued a lot. We would hope that each student only stays in high school for 4 years and thus only has firsthand knowledge of 4 years worth of work, maximum. This is why mentors have been allowed in the past, most groups that I know that sent in a mentor sent them solely for a historical reference. This reference is now denied and hopefully the judges place their questions accordingly.
