Re: 2006 Chairman's Award Winners
 
Honorable mention is relatively new, but before the Chairman's Award was given at a regional level, all teams entered at the Championship (Nationals in those days). Five teams were recognized, four as runner-ups and one as the Championship CA winner. The four received an award...A mirror with two of the gears from the Chairman's Award Clock and a plaque that said "Chairman's Award winner in the Making." Some teams won that many times before winning the Chairman's Award. I think of Team 16. They won the Runner-up at the Championship four years before they won the CA. My team, the Heroes Of Tomorrow, won the runner-up twice at the Championship. Winning multiple times does not mean that you will win the Championship CA, but it does mean that you are doing the right things, so keep it up...your time is coming.

Also, there are many comments about low number teams winning. This is to be expected. Part of the Championship CA is legacy. Higher number teams may not have demonstrated their legacy yet. The may be the best at a regional, but not at the Championship. The Chairman's Award is not about doing something great for one year, you need to do great things year after year.

Good luck to all CA Regional Winners. And to those that tried and didn't receive recognition (win), come back stronger next year. Plan now for how to improve your team. Look for something to do during the off season (whenever that is). Keep up the good work. The bar keeps getting raised each year.

I beleive that 1108 won the Chairman's Award at Boilermaker in Boilermakers inagural year but I am not 100% sure.
Congrats to all teams who have won the Chairman's Award.
I understand this "legacy" issue, however I have one question. Do you think that a 4 year old team that has 3-peated with the Chairman's Award has a "legacy".

383 won the first Boston Regional Chairmans Award today (well, yesterday now) are they the first non-US team to win regional CA?

I want to say either 341 or 236 is due.. they've won it almost every year since FIRST began to do regional chairman's award presentations.

Re: 2006 Chairman's Award Winners
 
Just to clear things up, I've noticed this being in asked in other threads as well. If you want to be technical, they are the first non-US team to win a regional CA during a U.S. event (I believe). However, with the founding of the inaugural Canadian Regional in the Hershey Centre, Team 188 received a regional CA in 2002.

610 was accorded with that honour in 2003, along with 1006 in 2004.

It is not your team number or how many times that you have won that determines who wins the Championship Chairman's Award. It is what you have done and are doing. Team 47 won in their second year in 1997. You are right now looking at one of the things that helped them to win. (They were doing other things also...go look at their team website.)

Remember that winning multiple times does not guarantee the Championship CA, but it does show you are doing the right things. The judges are not looking at team number but CA activities done over time.

Santosh, go in and tell them all the good things that you have done and are doing. Sell your team to the judges. They have to believe that you are better than all the others. Be the first four digit team to win. Good luck in Atlanta. I will be the first to congratulate you.

Good luck to all teams.

Re: 2006 Chairman's Award Winners
 
This is an impressive list. Makes me wonder how on earth the CA judges at Championship are going to choose just one team to join the HOF this year.

To follow up on that thought: as FIRST adds regional events, the opportunities for regional medals and awards increase proportionally. And there's still just one Championship, so just one team per year gets into the HOF. Many exemplary teams may never make it in, because other exemplary teams are developing every year.

I don't mean to slight any team by mentioning the only ones that I have directly observed recently; my choices for the 2006 Chairman's Award would be 45, 71, 111, and 1114.

I'd find it very difficult to make a single choice, but if pressed I'd vote for 71. Reasons: (1) four championships -- I understand that FIRST isn't only about winning, but in 71's case the winning is evidence of an exceptionally strong overall program, and (2) FIRST's most productive alumni association -- just look around and see where former Hammond team members are now, what they've done for FIRST, the teams they've started.
