I have watched over the last 8 year of who gets the award.

When you see a Big corp. enter into this competition. One of those teams they sponsor gets the award. Just look back at all the winner.

For you to win you need to get a big corp to give lots of money to FIRST to help out and surpise you get something.

I have seen this in all awards. If your team is sponsored by a great company, you will most likey get a award.

They do this to make all the big company happy.

So if you are a team that goes out and gets all these small corp. to give money you have a slim chance of winning.
