Re: Share or not to share CA submissions
 

One of the best ways to see the competing apps is to get the ball rolling and post yours here , hopefully others will follow.

judge feedback from our last year's chairman's app

IMO, delphi could post the winner's entries with the winner's cooperation.

Re: Share or not to share CA submissions
 

Cheryl, what a great idea. Thanks for offering to help me post Team 007 entry. I'll also try to have the students get it on our website soon.

Re: Share or not to share CA submissions
 

OOPS! (spelling error or just fat fingers)

Positive sponsor feedbacks- :D
The sponsors didn't know that the teams did so much.
They are also passing it along to other companies that may want to sponsor a high school team of future engineers.
They feel that their money was well spent.
They are encouraging more of the senior staff to visit the regional.
Talk to the students.
They are proud to be associated with a team.
Sponsor Bragging Rights!

Best of all: They took us out for DINNER! :)

Re: Share or not to share CA submissions
 

I can imagine all that from our sponsors too. They want to keep sponsoring our team cuz they see our team helping to spread the program. It's helping other local big guns to realize they need to step up to the plate more, to see the possibilities, to put their heads up and consider funding for the local regional...

I think our heavy publicity helps them be informed, feel and do all of that except

*whine* Didn't take us out to dinner!

Re: Share or not to share CA submissions
 

We are always into helping other teams any way we can. Last year we gave our winning submission on paper to the Chairman's Team of Team #847 PHRED. This year they won the Chairman's Award. Our Chairman's Award Submission should be on our site next week. It currently is on vacation when it comes back ill be sure to post it. We also have our winning submission from 2003 online at our website www.wahsrobotics.com so check that out if you want and ill be sure to update you on when this years is up.

Re: Share or not to share CA submissions
 

Go ahead and post your 2003 app on this thread

cuz the thread was started in 2003, and it can remain a repository for people trying to find others' apps.

Re: Share or not to share CA submissions
 

Anyone without a web, or having to wait to get it on a web, can email me their app, I'll have a page on our web hidden from public view, and I'll have a link for you to post your app on delphi thread. I can do that easily.

Unless, Brandon, you want to have a team organization subfolder where people can upload their chairman apps?

Re: Share or not to share CA submissions
 

Feel free to upload your Chairman's Award entries in this new category of the White Papers.

Re: Share or not to share CA submissions
 

Brandon and Delphi are the BEST *doing the happy happy dance*

Re: Share or not to share CA submissions
 

I think winners should share their CA submissions. It lets everyone else know exactly why that team is so great.

Believe me, after being on Buzz #175 in high school I know how ambiguous the chairman's award is. We tried everything to win that award: FIRST aid, lego league, community service, the BIG E....
We held a competition at the Big E, (it's like a town fair but a million people go, held in Sprinfield, MA). We spread the FIRST message to 100 thousand people that never heard of FIRST. Hamilton Sundstrand Space Systems spent a HUGE amount of money to pull of the event. Did we win CA that year? Nope.

I think that in the end FIRST just gave it to Buzz because we had literally done everything and they were fearful of us just getting burned out and stop trying.

Re: Share or not to share CA submissions
 

LOL, I don't think it was that. You guys deserved it, you finally got it, and persistence pays off.

Re: Share or not to share CA submissions
 

Excellent! Thanks Brandon.
I'll start get copies of CAs from teams to upload.

Re: Share or not to share CA submissions
 

THANK YOU THANK YOU to Chief Delphi, cheryl, rich wong and everyone else who is working on this to share this important information.

Additionally, thanks again to Chief Delphi for providing a venue for all these issues. I just started posting about a month ago and never imaged how wonderful it would be to have this site for all my questions and
frustrations.
The learning curve is steep...

Re: Share or not to share CA submissions
 

When we win an award, we make sure to get the "words" the emcee announced.

I posted the transcript of our winning the chairman's award.

Hope others will too in Delphi's White Papers, team organization, chairman's award subcategory
