I suggest that it be offered to tournaments as something to consider.
I also suggest that each of us poll our teams to
see what the kids think--would they be interested
to see winning presentations and robot
performances at the end of the day? And would
they be willing to present to the audience if
asked to do so? If there's overwhelming support
from the kids, then tournaments should be
encouraged to include this if time allows.
Cheers,
Mike
