So my team isn't solving world hunger, none of our mentors on are in-line for sainthood, we don't raise $3.2 million a year for charity. But we have done two years of CA submissions and we will keep doing it. It's a way for us to say "we are changing the world" (one kid at a time and sometimes in bulk .. dlavery) It is not about the award, it's about the mission.
I would like FIRST to display the names of each team at each event that submitted for the Chairmans Award. Celebrate that those teams made the effort to document what they do to make a difference.
And I'd like to see the essays posted. Show all of us what they did to make a difference. Show us the projects they have chosen. Maybe rather than starting my own project I can jump on theirs (thats the old 1+1=3).
The bar is high, just look at the HOF teams. But their robot puts its wheels on one at a time just like ours, so we can be a HOF winner too!
