Guidelines

 * A team spokesperson must be able to competently describe the creative/unique feature(s) and can trace its conception, design, manufacturing/assembly, or deployment.
 * It is highly original in concept or execution.
 * Since creativity may involve risk of failure, a team’s appropriate response to challenges, including machine failures, can be considered.
 * Its uniqueness has a practical application and contributes to the objectives of the competition.
 * Developing it contributed to the team’s success in  FIRST  – not just in performance on the field of competition.
 * The team created this device/strategy rather than discovered it once the machine was built.
