For me, its National Chairmans Award, having a winning robot is just a part of FIRST. My team puts lots of work in year round. I started crying at LA cuz we won Chairmans Award, regionally. If we won nationally, being recognized for what we do as a whole and not just during the six week period, my team would be ecstatic for years to come. I would be crying hysterically for days to come.

The robot, its just a piece of the FIRST puzzle, whether u win or lose, u gain something, whether it be a lesson, or an awesome friend from a cross the country. I dont get worked up about that, the guys on our team get stressed out about that sometimes. Yep, all of the jocks on our team get extremely competive. Thats the only thing that gets me stressed out, when people on our team are bummed out because of a bad match.

Chairmans award, one of kind recognition, commemorating ur team as a whole. Like the gracious Proffesionalism awards we recieved from Team 60 as well as Team 22, (THANK U GUYZ SO MUCH!!! IT MEANS THE WORLD TO US)
