My point is that anyone can win chairman's. You don't have to come from a widely recognized team to win. Just show them that you are taking advantage of what FIRST has to offer through your partnership and community service.
I know that some teams feel like they don't have the time to spread FIRST and fundraise but try to find a way to do both. FIRST is only a four month long engagement and you have the other 8 months to do fundraising and spreading FIRST. Even if your team is small you could make it happen.
You guys may think "She's from Chief Delphi, they don't have to worry about being recognized." To tell you the truth, we do worry. A LOT!
We worry about putting together a good submission and publicizing it. I know I worked on Chairman's last year and tried my best to be involved with as much of the other activities our team was involved with.
Just remember that the students are what make a team a team. Not the engineers nor the coaches. You guys, the students. That is what the judges look for.
