Huge congrats to your team, what an amazing accomplishment for a first time Chairman's submission. I look forward to reading your essay some day.

I emailed copies to Sal from MARS Team 1523 & James with 1902 Exploding Bacon at their request. When I get a chance I'll see if I can figure out how to post a copy here on CD.

Sounds a lot like our team. We finished 11th and got out in the quarter finals. Then we won Chairman's!

Congrats from team 1745 The P-51 Mustangs! Ironically almost the same thing happened to us! We seeded 11th, got picked by the number 7 seed and lost in the quarterfinals!

Winning the very first Dallas Regional Chairman's award was nothing short of incredible though!

It's been an amazing experience for us. This past year has been a wild ride, it's the first time we've applied for Chairman's and even worked over the off-season. We are extremely proud of this baby.

Congratulations!!!!! You guys were amazing. just for future, you guys should have a list of 24 teams to pick from if you are in the top 12. Rank them by who you want the most, then cross them of as they are called. It's also good to have someone in the stands with the same list and they will hold up a sign with who they have on their list, just to double check.

Haha, well at the beginning of saturday we were actually pretty low on the list... didnt expect to make it to the top twelve, we actually arent a big enough time for an effective scouting team anyway

actually we had like 6 people that were "scouting".........

saturday morning we were in 35(+-) place, so they decided to stop scouting..... but me and Zach brought us back to 11th;)
