Hi, once again this is Vanessa from the Bomb Squad. Like I said in an earlier response, we were the 2000 winner of the Chairman's Award. In your reply, you mentioned that with money you can make a Chairman's Award that is presentable and can afford to put worthwild stuff in it. I would have to disagree with you on this one. The Bomb Squad's Chairman's Award submission costs about $5 in total to make. It was simply a 3-ring binder and a power point presentation on a video that we spent hours upon hours making. It is not the submission that wins Chairman's Award, it is what goes into the submission that is important. And what goes into the submission by no means takes a lot of money either. Chairman's Award is presented to the team that exemplifies best the partnership between the students and engineers, school and corporate sponsor, team and communtity, etc....the team that exemplifies what FIRST is all about: the inspiration, not the competition. To do this you do not need alot of money.....example: Making presentations to civic clubs (cost: $0), teaching 2nd and 3rd graders about engineering and FIRST (cost:$0), mentoring Lego League teams and volunteering at the competition (cost:$0), etc. . .I could go on and on with this. I don't know how it has been for every other team that has won the Chairman's Award, but I felt that you should know how it is for ours. But this is an open forum, and anyone's opinion is welcome.

Vanessa
