Re: 2008 National Chairman's Award: Who will be THE ONE?

Quote:
With the shear mass of teams that FIRST has now, and the growing number of strongly established teams, I think that certain things that teams do become less and less important. For instance, so many teams have started FRC, FLL and FTC teams, that that task does not look as unique. I think that the winner will not only have to be a team that has won a lot and has done a lot, but that team has to have done something really unique that has many/large effects. I look around different teams' websites and I see that many teams give demonstrations, start new teams, talk to community leaders, participate in charities, etc.; and all those things are good, but I think that the National winner will be a team that has purposefully done something huge, and so far I haven't heard anything that really is hugely impressive from any team. I don't know...does anyone have anything like that? It will be interesting to find out at Atlanta. Of course...maybe it will be a team that has simply amassed task upon task, doing a little at a time to build up an awesome resume. It certainly seems like several of the RCAs have impressive histories. There's a lot of competition this year.
Well team 2669 KY Bots has done many unique things.
We are a rookie team from Israel but we believe that we have managed to achieve many great things.

You can read the pdf file of the submission, it is attached to the post.



Unfortunately we will not be in Atlanta.

We have won the Rookie Inspiration Award which does not grant participation according to the criteria..

But you are still welcome to read and get impression of our accomplishments.
