Okay - so do you know all of the Chairman's award winners so that you can go up and ask them questions/advice??
Also, how can a team that has won it say 8 years ago give you advice if they didn't do it. The only people who might remember what they did would be the mentors, assuming, they are still helping out the team.
The other thing is, what that team did to win the award is outdated. It takes a lot more to win that what those teams did.
I'm not campaigning against the Chairmans award, I just don't agree with the way they're deciding to use it. The cool thing with Chairman's is each and every year you have to be really creative to get something that can compete with other teams. Just imagine what the judges have to go through to pick a winner.
