Being in the HoF means you did something right at one point and time. I want to know this information to better help my community. I don't care about the award. I will try to impact my community regardless if FIRST wants me spreading jFLL instead of EARLY or FLL instead of GEAR. I will do what my community needs me to do and by winning Chairmans and them recognizing that I am "worthy" of this "honor" means nothing to ME if tomorrow one of the students I host at the EARLY or GEAR or ANY competition tells me he wants to be an engineer and work on robots instead of being the next Michael Jordan or Muse.

Its about doing something without a care for whatever recognition you might or might not get.

However since these teams have demonstrated at one point in time they were the best example in their community, maybe I could adopt one of those programs to make my impact in the community even GREATER.

I want the HoF teams to help me spread STEM more efficiently by showing me what they did to deserve the "honor" of being in the HoF.

I don't care about the award. That is my position. From now, till the end. I would however like to be spoonfed or just fed all of the information that have made other communities successful. I think it IS the spirit of FIRST and of GP to spread your knowledge of spreading STEM efficiently.

Deleted the rest. The people who I am talking to know already what I am trying to say.
Our '92 entry is lost forever after numerous moves. It's was a game with a board and everything.
