Technically....the X-Cats won 2 national Chairmans and the first was in their rookie year :p

151 won it their rookie year as well..

O how good it must feel to be a legacy team like 191 :rolleyes:

Re: chairmans= big teams?
 

Championship or regional? For Championship, I seem to recall 842 being the highest (and most recent). They've been around for a while.

1860 also won a regional CA in their third year (Brazil Regional 2008).

Re: chairmans= big teams?
 

Technically in '92 we were but in that year everyone was a rookie.
There's lots of cases of second year teams rising to prominence in their second year (locally 1511 is a great example of that) but on the National level ironically til MOE broke though a couple of years ago we were the highest numbered team to ever win a Chairman's award (it never went past 200) so 842 winning a Chairman's award is a huge deal. Maybe this will be the year a four digit team breaks through!

Ed, 254 was the highest numbered team to win Championship CA prior to MOE.

Re: chairmans= big teams?
 

A good way for smaller teams to be qualified for Chairmans is for their community outreach programs, to be mixed with their fundraisers, Then you are helping your team fiscally while also promoting FIRST and STEM feilds.

Team 1727, Rex, won RCA at Chesapeake in 2007. 2nd year.

Re: chairmans= big teams?
 

MARS was 43 members strong when we won the FL Regional Chairman's in 2008. It helps to have a large team so more people can do more outreach!
