Re: National Championship or National Chairman's

i'd have to say chairmans, after a while team numbers/names that won championship start to be forgotten, but with chairmans your team is definatly remembered.

How can you not believe in Chairmans Award??? I mean yeah its nice to win but what does FIRST really mean? Doesn't it want us to go out and teach others what FIRST stands for?? I agree with winning championships, but i think its more to it than winning that an enormous trophy. Its about telling, teaching, and getting everyone to know what FIRST is and well just to take a step more- ya know?

Anyways that's just want i think and my point of view..

Re: National Championship or National Chairman's

Since I personally have not been involved with any Championship or Chariman's Award I love both...but I still love hanging out with my kids and having fun as the # 1 criteria or else I wouldn't be doing this. Awards in general are sugar on top and ingeneral I believe that's how our team feels since as Koko Ed pointed out we have never won a robotics competition until this very year (13 years -of dry luck) but Hey we kept on going like the little energizer bunny.

Re: National Championship or National Chairman's

I voted for National Chairman's award because that will allow us to compete for the championship each year. If FIRST didn't keep saying that it's all about the Chairman's award would anybody care about it?

If FIRST really believed it was all about the Chairman's award would the presentations be given behind closed doors or for all to see? The same goes for Animation. FIRST gives lip service to both of these pieces of the puzzle, but you never get to see the results.

When FIRST decides to showcase Chairman's and Animation like they showcase the robots, then I might think it's about something other than a robot competition.

Re: National Championship or National Chairman's

Well I was only on our team for one year and we have never submitted for a Chairman's award in four years. That doesn't mean we don't do anything that would constitute as work towards an award, but the team has simply never actually collected all the stuff together and submitted it. Anyways, I don't know what it feels like to be *hoping* to win a Chairman's award, be it at a regional or the championship. Of course I would like to, but I am just saying, I haven't.

That being said, I *do* know what it feels like to make it to the finals of a regional event or even just watch our six weeks of work take the spotlight at any point during a competition. So personally, I would love to know the feeling of going all the way and winning the National Championship (especially as an underdog!).
