Barry,
we're a rookie team and will be submitting the Chairman's Award via the
www.firstawards.com web site as part of our competing in the Rookie All-Star award process.
EVERY team should be doing the work on Chairman's Award very EARLY in the 6-week build period. A bit too late to discuss this now.

The Chairman's Award is a way to keep a history of the team up to the very beginning

It's really more than that:
-- Any good corporation will not embark (spend money) on a new business or product without first coming up with the MISSION and VISION statements. The CA award does that for FRC so that all team members are "on board".
-- By documenting your "game plan" in the CA application, you also solidify your design and build plan for the robot. Will you be a defensive partner in the alliance? Will you be an offensive autonomous ruler?
-- By filling-out the CA questions and sharing them with your teammates, teachers, and even the sponsors in your community, you become a much more complete, tightly-integrated team.
Good luck everyone in submitting CA by this FRIDAY (2/18) at midnight
