Winning Chairman's doesn't necessarily make you a good citizen. And philosophies can change. I know firsthand that this is true.
Like I've mentioned in other posts, my team has always been the underdog. I know and am very close with a team who has won Chairman's before. This year their robot didn't come out as well as they had planned. (if anyone from that team is reading this I'm very sorry and don't wish to offend, but I need to make a point) However, we came out with a highly competitive robot. Some members of that team, not all, but some, decided that they were going to sulk about it. The team philosophy of "one team two bots" was completely lost. They no longer cheered us on during matches and it was a horrible mess. Yet they have won Chairman's in the past. Think about that.
So because of the poor attitiudes of some kids on the team all the good things that have been done in the past should be torn up and thrown away? If there is a presence on that team that was there when they won the Chairman's award then hopefully they will assert themselves and help them to remeber what got them that award in the first place.
We did not have a good robot last year but we still cheered enthusiactically and remianed a good citizen of FIRST and one of the main reasons is the mentors on the X-Cats who pass down those values to our kids and kids who readily embraced those values. Because we understood what we had to live up to and we had no intention of letting down those teams of the past.
Hopefully the team you are talking about remebers the same.
