It is so obvious, I can't believe no one has mentioned them yet...

CHIEF DELPHI!!!!!!!

Team 47 has been a model of what a FIRST team is all about for nine years. This team has done incredible things for FIRST, their community, and their team members. They are amazing, and have been quite an inspiration to me and many others.

47 was the first "superstar" team in FIRST. They travelled all over the country to go to regionals, and won them. They developed amazing technologies like swereve drive before anyone else. They brought their huge and spirited team everywhere. They caught flak for being so good, and made many other teams jealous of their strength and ability as a team. This team grew so well that in their sophomore season, 1997, FIRST made a special award just for them. They got the "snowball award" for developing like a snowball rolling downhill, picking up size and speed as they went. They have shared so much with the FIRST community, and deserve to be recognized for it. They even gave us this amazing forum which is in my opinion the heart of the FIRST community.

THANK YOU CHIEF DELPHI!!

You are a standout among the elite of FIRST teams, you show us all what we should be doing. Keep up the good work!
