Re: Chairman's Award -- is the bar too high now?
I think people are starting to lose touch with what this award is actually about. The focus of a team should not be on how to win the Chairman's Award. Teams should be more concerned about what they can do to help their communities and developing outreach programs.

No team should ever say "How can we win this award? What do we need to do to win it?" Teams should think "What can we do to benefit our community? How can we help those around us and spread the FIRST program?"

Just my thoughts....

P.S. Congrats to team 341 on their award. They represent a model team which other teams should try to emulate.
