It's my understanding it's ongoing as well.

RoboMom:
My apologies. I thought you were speaking of Championship Winners only since it was in this thread. I like your idea personally and I agree, but the four page entries are not the property of FIRST, rather they are the property of teams. There have been threads in the past (I remember one started by Rich Wong last year) that discussed the pros and cons of sharing CA submissions and I'd suggest reading those.


Rich: no apologies needed. Thanks for the suggestion and I'll move off this thread and onto the one for CA. I'll make sure I read the past threads before I send off my letter to FIRST.
Thanks.

Great idea Jenny.

Re: Hall of Fame Award and Display
 

Question isn't 16 in the hall of fame and if they are how did they win a reagional chairmans???? I am not clear if 16 is a chairmans awards winner or not. Too many hits in the head building the robot i guess.

Re: Hall of Fame Award and Display
 

Uh yeah, they have and I guess FIRST has decided that they can qualify for both awards or something.

Re: Hall of Fame Award and Display
 

ok so they are chairmans award winners i though you could never win twice any more???? I though that you had to earn stars or something??? Can any other hall of fame teams and or 16 explain(clarify) this to me because i am not getting it?

If FIRST or Chief Delphi doesn't do it, we can do it.

Re: Hall of Fame Award and Display
 

Well it would help if FIRST put out an official document about the Chairman's award status of previous winners and this award's elegiblity. As of right now, I guess you can go for both awards.

Re: Hall of Fame Award and Display
 

You got all of the documents?

Re: Hall of Fame Award and Display
 

Wait - now I'm confused.
Ed, are you sure Baxter Mountain Home has won a Chairmans Award prior to this year? I don't recall that, but if you are correct then somethings wrong because we recieved a letter stating that previous winners were not eligible for a regional chairmans award. I think we were told to send our 4 page submittal directly to FIRST to get approved to create the presentation at Atlanta. I'm thinking that Baxter has not ever won a National Chairmans Award yet.

Re: Hall of Fame Award and Display
 

We have the same letter. I'm sure there is an explanation. The BombSquad is a great team, a fine example for us all, and super to work with as an alliance partner, but it appears that there may have been a miscommunication.

Re: Hall of Fame Award and Display
 

Thanks for the confirmation on that one Rich.
I just checked the FIRST site and it does list Team 16 as the Chairmans Award winner at the Chesapeake Regional. I'll check it out tomorrow and find out whats going on - I'll post the answer I get later. By the way, I agree that Team 16 is a outstanding example for everyone. No disrespect intended - just confused about what we were suppose to submit to whom.

Re: Hall of Fame Award and Display
 

You weren't being disrespectful. From what I assumed before, I too, thought they were not eligible for the award and when they won I was totally shocked. But if they are deserving, they are deserving.

Re: Hall of Fame Award and Display
 

I'm in total agreement with you Ed. I just wonder about other deserving teams that submitted to the Chesapeake Regional. Doesn't it seem like someone just missed out on that opportunity? Hate to be the runner up at that one!

Re: Hall of Fame Award and Display
 

I was thinking this was why FIRST did this so that new teams could win the Chairman's award and get to go to the Championship while giving the previous award winner their due and something to aim for year after year.
