I think the Chairman's Award is the top. Every competition we have ever won or lost was, in the end, a result of luck. Alot of hard work, a good robot, lots of practice, but in the end , either good or bad luck. The Chairman's Award, on the other hand, is a great recognition of the quality of the program. I have always told everyone that the Chairman's Award is not something to try to win - you build the best program you can and then let it be judged. Never do something just for the sake of an award.

I have always been more impressed with any award than with winning a competition. I have some medals from over the years but the awards are sweeter.

I am most proud of the enduring program we have. Five National Chairman's Award Finalist (in the old days), One National Chairman's Award, and one Regional Chairman's award, since '96.
