Re: The threepeat
1108 just won it's second chairman's. 2004-Lonestar, 2005-Purdue.
There is four regionals "near" us. The closest being 4-5 hour drive (St. Louis) and the furthest 14 hours (Houston). So we are not in a real specific region. Winning chairman's in Texas is part of the reason, besides distance, cost, and just developing new bonds with teams, that we went to Purdue. With the chairman's award as one of the qualifier for nationals it was our ticket to go this year. So eliminating that would eliminate a chance for our students to go to Atlanta.
We are a fairly young team..only 3 years. We have a good history but not compared to some like the robonaut (118) and some of the teams we competed with both at Houston and Purdue. I think judges must judge teams on a year to year basis and I think for the most part they do a great job.
