Now that the Chairman's Award entries are 4 page electronic submissions, it would be wonderful to have a central depository that everyone can visit to see the Regional winners. Team 103 is to be commended for being so open with what they have done and what they continue to do. But most of the winners don't have their entry posted on their site; in fact many don't have working web sites. Information is power. I want to know what is going on around the country and beyond. I would love to hear about the innovative things being done and get ideas about whether they would work in Baltimore. This award is all about being role models. I guess it could be voluntary, but why wouldn't you want to publicize what you have done?

RE: the issue of "copying" another teams submission, well, isn't that in fact what we are suppose to be doing? I'm only halfway joking. I think this is a non-issue.

I'm drafting a letter to FIRST, but would love to hear whether I'm totally off base here, before I send it.
(Wow… an old posting from the past which still rings true)

As a mentor of many, many NYC teams, I enjoy reading other FIRST team CA submissions (winners and non-winners) and I encourage each team to create a CA submission every year.

Reading CAs always brings a smile to me because the it truly convey the team’s spirit and their hard work, not the robots they build. (It’s not all about the BOT!)


CA submissions are amazing positive role models to other students. When I show teams the CA of Regional Winners, they immediately become inspired because now they have an example, a direction, and the motivation.

It would be a wonderful idea for FIRST to collect the CA Submissions (winners and non-winners) and add them to the Team booklets they give out at the events (obviously with the permission of the teams). HINT, HINT!
