So... team 67 is the first team to win Chairman's Award and Championships, AND the first Chairman's Award winning team to EVER win a Championship.

But... winning the Championships was not just about team 67. They were a part of a great alliance, led by team 330.

The alliance we were on was one of many that they beat on their way to a Championship win. The view from behind the operator station was like seeing a wave of tetras coming at us.

Kudos to teams 330, 67, and 503. They are a great alliance who had the right strategy to win. Also, it is great to see 3 teams who are all great FIRST examples. Each of these teams have provided tremendous support to their communities and FIRST over the years, and it is good to see them come out on top in the FRC competition.

Actually team 144 won the championship either the year before or after (I can't quite remember) they won the Chairman's award.
