2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

Just wondering who all is trying to win Chairmans and where.

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

I think 79 is going to take the Chairman's this year.

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

Actually, I think Maximum OZ, Team 388 will win the Chairman's Award.

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

1155 will try to go back to back at NYC.

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

Why do you think these teams will win? Stating a team number/name is one thing, but saying some of their accomplishments would help us understand why you propose they will win.

I don't know many teams outside of Canadian ones so I can't comment on who I think will win the Championships, however we are hoping to win our first Chairman's Award at Waterloo this year, though there is always tough competition here in the north.

seeing as I asked you to list accomplishments, here some of ours:

Started 4 FRC Teams
Hold a local FRC kickoff each year
Started and mentor 12 FLL Teams
Host a FLL Regional (with no entry fee for teams attending)
Hold off season Lego League events
With our main sponsor Bruce Power we started the Safety Program that is now FIRST wide

Thanks for the clarification, it’s my fault I didn’t specify what I was looking in a response but d.courtney had the right idea by stating why their team in the running for the Chairman’s Award

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

2077 from Wales Wisconsin hpoes to win the chairman's
award. We made a girl's robotics team in our school this year
and we are going to host the 1st National Fluid Power Challenge
in our highschool. :cool:

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

team 25 is submitting at Hawaii because NASA pretty much requires it

But we will have a surprise in store when we get there

he he

WC :cool:

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

I'd venture that 236 (five consecutive Chairman's) and 341 (three Chairman's, two EI) are the early favorites.

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

I wasn't being mean with the message. I'm just a straight forward person. LOL!! Good luck to all other teams.

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

Team 45 is going to submit either at Boilermaker or St. Louis.

Good luck to all the teams submitting.

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

What about 79 (five consecutive RCAs as well)? 341 will have to win their first RCA in since 2005 to get there as well.

Based on my knowledge of their entries, my early favorites are 612 and 842.
VCU will likely once again be a highly highly competitive regional for the Chairman's, with past winners 384 (2x), 388, 435 (2x), and 612 (2x) all potentially submitting there. 612 won the intense VCU regional last year (topping 116, 384, 435, and 1002 in the process), snapping 384's hopes for three consecutive.

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

The TechnoKats will be running for chairman's again this year, just this time we are going to try at St. Louis. With 17 years to back us up, I think that's nuff said.

For those ney sayers: 14 FRC, 2 FVC/FTC, 3 FLL, full field for teams in our area, IRI, ball drop, technobox at local rehabilitation center, girl's night, girl scout night, state house demo, relay for life, and the list goes on and on and on.

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

I think that 341 is a favorite in my mind but don't count out my alma mater wheeler team 1002. they helped to start/help run over 70 teams in the county, they along with their alumni have helped start/given advice to many teams. they have donated over $20,000 to other teams across the US to help them compete.
They run an FLL qualifier and workshop. the workshop has over 200 kids that attend it.
They did over 9000 hours of community service last year, I am not too sure about this year. the club is the second largest in our school with over 120 members... and the list goes on

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

upon careful consideration, we are entering our own Hawaii regional as well, over the competitive VCU and Chesapeake regionals. We have won in San Jose a few years back.:D

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

Team 1592 is submitting their Chairman's award entry at the Denver, Colorado Regional. :D

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

Carl Hayden HighSchool Flacon Robotics, 842 is submitting our Chairman's entry at the Arizona Regional.

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

418 is submitting to Lone Star, our home regional.

499 Chairman @ Lonestar
 

We will be submitting at the Lone Star regional as well. Here is a link to a web archive of our document. Comments and or suggestions on what to emphasize during the interview process are welcome.

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

Team 388 will be submitting to FIRST's biggest regional. NASA/VCU!!!

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

I beg your pardon, but I believe you mean the Greater Toronto Regional. :D

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

Team 166 will have a Chairman's Award submission at GSR, like every other year.

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

I would think that 842 would be one of the stronger teams going into the race for Chairman's at championship...but there are a lot of things other than the submission that could throw off everyone's predictions.
After reading their submission, I think they've got what its going to take to take it this year, plus their submission is very creative and should stick in the minds of the judges.

As for my team, 612, we are submitting at Buckeye this year. I feel like I've said this in all the Chairman's threads that have been floating around this year and the 2 or 3 VCU threads that have been all over CD.

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

Actually Connecticut has you beat with 67 teams.

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

It's actually now a tie between CT and NYC.

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

Somehow I have a feeling NYC is going to get a few more teams.

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

If you go straight to the source and look at FIRST's teamlists, GTR has 66, CT has 62, and NYC has 64. The Blue Alliance data is either out-of-date or somehow predicting the future.

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

U GUYS STILL COMING TO NJ????

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

It is actually the IRI, with 72 (or more) teams .... ;)

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

Team 812 submitted our Chairman's Award to San Diego Regional.

We pretty much fell out of our seats when we won yesterday. It is our third Chairman's Award [2 EI/1 CMP EI]. Congratulations to all the other teams who won at your respective regionals. We are looking forward to seeing you in Atlanta!

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

Our winning Chairman's submission can be found here, both online and downloadable.

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

1086 took home the chairman's at the NASA VCU Regional Competition in Richmond Virginia

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

--> For recruiting and doing dean's homework. :)
It also helped to have a new image.

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

yeah yeah, now where's a copy for all of us to look at to see what you guys did?

Re: 2008 Chairman Award Entries
 

I've been away from Robotics for a while, and don't have my team's current submission for this year. I'll post it as soon as I get it from them or have them post it. But here is a quick highlight of what our team has been up to.

1. Helping start FRC teams in our community, and also mentoring FLL and FRC teams.
2. Being involved with George Mason University and engineering classes being recognized as college credit for Systems Engineering courses.
3. Alumni starting FIRST organization on college levels to help out local teams and hold workshops. Internships and Scholarships from our sponsors and FIRST. Last year, seniors scored around $800,000 in scholarship for 4 year college.
4. Business Structure, that has won us two Entrepreneurship awards. It is also the basis of our fundraising strategies including Corporate Presentations (Brown Bag Lunches) and recruitment.
5. Partnership with Smithsonian Institute, mainly National Air and Space Museum in Chantilly VA. Students make the core base of their summer internship and discovery station volunteer program. Several Robots have been showcased at the events like Space Day and Air and Scare (Halloween). Featured robots are not only from FRC, but other projects like Ghost Bot that gives out candy and Mars Rovers.
6. Increasing girls involvement with a program/class called Girls Exploring Engineering GE^2. Currently, our team consists of 1/3 female members with 2/3 in leadership.
7. Getting involve in school activities and showcasing robots around school and on school News.
8. Getting a media exposure through the help of local newspaper and channels.
9. Holding events like FLL regional Tournament and Science and Technology Fair, annually.
10. Our on going program with Fairfax County Public School, known as FirstSTEP; where the students help make customize robotics wheelchair for kids with different disabilities. Includes a Switch-Activated Baby walker, Voice Activated Wheelchair, Micro-Switch Wheelchair, etc.
11. Current students helping at George Mason's Neural Engineering Lab.
12. Plans with Children's Museum of Northern Virginia for a Robotics Gallery, designed by Students and Mentors of 612.

These are just some of the points on top of my head.
CONGRATS to all the Chairman's Award Winners; and 612 is glad to be competing against such great teams.

questions? Please feel free to ask.
