Amanda is exactly right. The FIRST goals are for these guys and girls to be inspired, each in their own way. Each person should get from FIRST whatever they want out of FIRST. A national chairman's award would certainly be sweet, but I don't think most people think of it in terms of preferring one to another. As mentioned before, it is something that just happens as a result of what you do as a team. I'm sure there are a few people on my team that would prefer an animation award over anything else! If they are inspired by that, then hey … awesome. It sure is interesting but I wouldn’t call it alarming.
