I see that differently, looks like teams that win Chairman's may or may not have a good robot. Which makes sense, since the award is more about community, outreach, spreading STEM vs robot on the field. Top teams have gotten into the swing of "We build great Robots and now that we got that, we can look at our real mission". Some teams are the other way.

Chairman's teams are amazing. I listen to the regional awards and it's amazing the things they do. Homeless, elderly, cancer, disabled, learning, other countries ....

Roboteers Rock!
