I think we are on to something here. Whatever it is, it should be a half-time type of show, which is entertaining and educational. Here's my idea, instead of just having someone behind closed doors decide which team is going to recieve certain awards, make a contest out if it. For example, have the finalists in the most photogenic robot category gather for a showdown using crowd applause as the deciding factor. Or have some awards given out which have been created to fit this new "contest live" type of format. How about a student operators and robots only, obstacle course, which is only unveiled then. Tests the brains and cooperation of each team member in a new way. I'm having visions of drivers driving their robots blindfolded with other team members telling them were to go. I know, some of these ideas are weird, but I'm brainstorming. Any other ideas out there?

In an education culture that hinges on having the perfect grades and perfect SAT scores to get into the perfect colleges, I enjoy providing an environment where students are encouraged to test their own hypothesis, challenge their assumptions, and regularly fail. - Michael Corsetto [more]
