So, Team Redabot wins Chairman's at the Magnolia regional in '04. They were well deserving of it because they had accomplished many things though out their history and spread the FIRST message. They host off-season comps, mentor FLL teams, 2 rookie FRC teams, volunteer at a retirement home, and teach a teach a science course at their local elementary school.
They didn't, however, win the Championship Chairman's in '04. So in '05 they re-submit to the Magnolia regional. How is any team supposed to compete with them? If they were given the award because of their outstanding team history, they will always have a year up on everyone else. As long as they keep up their program, they will always be ahead of everyone.
Team Blueabot also does a great job spreading FIRST by helping rookie FRC teams, helping FLL teams, and doing community service. Team Bluebot doesn't have the resources to host an off-season comp, or travel to another regional. How are they supposed to compete with Team Redabot? Until Redabot wins the Championship Chairman's, it seems almost hopeless for Blueabot.
