Thoughts on showing Impact Award Video as part of presentation?

Just curious … videos are engaging, but not sure if judges prefer more in-person talking instead.

There’ve been a few threads on this before: [1] [2].

I liked what @jaredhk said in one of those:

Would you rather see a polished, pre recorded video or engage live with the students right in front of you? A live presentation is often going to seem more impactful than a video. You can use the video, but you’re judged based on the content you put in front of the judges and a video may not be what makes your team stand out.

You need to sell the judges that your team is the best at promoting FIRST. The judges want to see the enthusiasm the Impact team has for FIRST and they believe in the mission.
Connect with the judges. Look them in the eyes and show them you are the best team at the competition
