Bingo! We have a winner here, folks.

Marketing your team in FIRST is tricky. It is something you must do, in order to get some attention. However, too much will annoy other teams.

Be honest. Be consise. Don't repeat yourself. Don't repeat yourself.

If you are blatantly saying "my team is the best yada yada", then people will not pay much attention. If you give others their due, and then sneak in a "hey, check out our team as we are decent at doing this yada yada", then you will be more accepted.

This marketing stuff takes experience and tact.
