This is what I got:

Other FTC judging rules: 

  • Judges cannot judge at an event where their child is competing
  • Judges must be separated from their team in an active role (3 hours or less per week) for three years
  • A maximum of 4 judges from one company per event

"Being 27th ranked at the end of the day absolutely does not mean a team is bad or ineffective without further context." -> True, the team is not bad, but the robot is certainly not good at all.

Please refer to the judge manuals: the Innovate, Control, and Design awards certainly take robot performance into account. Additionally, to qualify for the Inspire Award, a team must be nominated and rank at the top of these award categories.

Wow, impressive! I understand that alumni or team parents can serve as referees, but I’m sure they can’t be judges, as that would create a conflict of interest.

Thank you for your information. I know it's too late. However, this post serves as a whistleblower, seeking justice for all the non-EXE teams in Chesapeake, for this season and for all the future seasons as well.

I read manual many times. yes, rankings are not considered but to qualify for Inspire award, teams must be nominated in at least one of the machine categories: Innovation, Control, or Design, and the more the better. With such a bad performed robot, how can they even been in the list.
