Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Award Predictions
1094 Channel Cats (River City Robots) of St. Charles County, Missouri are my favorites among teams I have worked with for many years. Their sustained efforts since 2003 have been critical to the growth of FIRST in the St. Louis region.
503 Frog Force are my favorites among teams I've seen at multiple events this season. Contagious enthusiasm, extreme creativity, and great presentation.
1114 Simbotics are simply the best FIRST team I've ever seen, anywhere, any season, for competitiveness and for inspiration.
I am very glad to be volunteering as a robot inspector, not a Chairman's Award judge. Those people will have their work cut out for them in St. Louis.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
