The reason why FIRST make such a big deal about the Chairman's award is because FIRST is trying to prove to everyone that this is more than just a robotics competiton. If all it was about was winning regionals then FIRST wouldn't have even bothered giving out a Chairman's award and just made it some sort of fancy Battlebots competiton.
