Re: Chairman's Award Iteration
This was the first year we have taken a very serious approach and put in quite a lot of effort for Chairman's. We received very high marks at Madera which left our students disappointed to not win but enthusiastic to present again at Long Beach. At Long Beach our marks varied greatly and were rather different from the marks at Madera, which left us with a feeling that we'll never win it unless we drastically change our operation, which we are not going to do just for an award. We finished the season with the impression that FIRST has a very specific ideas of what they want in a chairman's award team and we aren't it. We'll see what 2015 brings.
