My mom and I were talking, and I said something to the effect of "The teams that normally win the chairman's have robots that do well" meaning that having good robots gets them noticed and that's why they can win the chairmans above other teams that the judges hadn't heard of.

My mom replied to that with something along the lines of "The teams win chairmans awards because the have built the infrastructure needed to build good robots"

So which one is it, anyone have any thoughts?
