Re: 3 regionals in one year.

I think there is room in FIRST for there to be very small to small groups that succeed in areas where others don't, continuing to raise the bar and show what can be done.

Succeeding in bringing home the gold in 3 regionals in one season is one such area. While the respected group is small, it serves as a group of teams that inspire and motivate the rest of us.

Other small groups are made up of teams who have won the regional Chairman's multiple times, again serving as role models for sustaining excellence and commitment to the goals of FIRST.

The WFAs are small but growing over time.
The HoFs are small but growing over time.

These are all small groups that inspire excellence, commitment, and reflect the different elements that combine to make FIRST.

I know this is about 3 regional wins in one season but as usual, I started thinking about other things.
