Yes I know, but when a team deserves a trophy they should get one. Like I mentioned above, what about the seniors, for whom that year would be the last chance for them to get that award. Your not doing it just for the award, but the chairmans helps recognize your sucess. And it helps your team, and often FIRST as a whole. People are attratced to sucess. People want to join something they can win. And if you have won FIRST's highest honor, you are certainly a sucessful team. If you have that trophy/banner to show off at your outreach, in your school, or to potential sponsors you are more likely to get them involved in FIRST.
Visual attractivness is a key part of an outreach effort, and trophies are certianly eye catching and attractive.
