Re: National Championship or National Chairman's

I would gladly take either. I think our team is perceived as a Chairman's competitor but we are trying to equally build a competitive robot. The thing about the Chairman's is it's kind of like the proverbial mountain that you climb because it's there. We have studied other teams and incorporated ideas that have worked and ideas that have not worked. We also have taken some of these ideas and advanced them or they have helped us down a road to new ideas. Without the Chairman's as a goal I doubt we would have been this aggressive to develop our team. To me the Chairman's is not what a team does but what a lot of good people from that team are able to accomplish. At this point our team is going to Atlanta with every intention of winning a national championship and if we don't the Chairman's wouldn't be bad either but if neither one of those happen we have had a great time trying and we will do it again next year.
