[Kims Robot]

I didn't see a thread posted for this yet...

So Congratulations to all of this year's Regional Chairman's Award winners!!

Since I have seen some new winners at some of the events I have attended, I was very curious about this year's stats!

Here are some stats, along with this year's winners so far. Note: I have NOT included district winners yet as we still need to see who win's at their District Championships to head off to St. Louis! [I may post more on that later]

Longest Streak (& most wins so far): 1538 The Holy Cows - 5 years at the San Diego regional
2nd Longest Streak - 1912 Team Combustion - 4 years at Bayou
Youngest RCA '13 - 3880 Tiki Techs
Oldest Team winning 1st RCA - 128 The Botcats

Number of RCA Wins:
5 Wins: 2 - 1538, 1311
4 Wins: 5 - 1305, 1912, 2486, 1086, 1540
3 Wins: 12 - 836, 537, 1429, 1710, 384, 1868, 126, 291, 2016, 771, 1987, 1983
2 Wins: 10 - 131, 1323, 1741, 1515, 2936, 2046, 1306, 230, 1885, 1902
1st Win: 18 - 2809, 2468, 3627, 1100, 2826, 1660, 781, 3211, 2974, 1208, 128, 296, 3374, 3880, 525, 2220, 3660

Other Interesting Facts
- Only 3 teams this year so far have won RCA at the SAME regional that they won at last year.
- 14 of the 46 Regional Winners (so far) won an RCA in 2012, 11 of those were at a different Regional
- Notably missing from last year's list are teams like 1108, 340 & 79 all with 7 wins under their belts [234(7wins) & 604(5wins) still haven't hit the list, but they are competing in upcoming events and perhaps have yet to submit?]
- 694(4wins) & 932(4wins) were also missing from the list, as well as 2169(4wins) - but 2169 still has Colorado if they are submitting there.

It seems to be a brand new year, with plenty of new faces and amazing new programs!! Congratulations to all of the RCA winners so far, and we are looking forward to see who is added in week 6 & 7!!

Thanks for putting this data together Kims.

I think that should be 2486.

Also it would be great if we could get more of the winning submissions published for others to be inspired by.

We are collecting submissions on a google doc page. For more information look here.

Good catch! With 2468, and 2486 both winning this year, I accidentally transposed! (Another Fun fact, we could have 2468, 2486, and 2648 this year if 2648 wins at Maine!)

What an nightmare alliance that would be for an Emcee!

Now imagine that alliance, but do a reverse introduction (start with blue 3 going to blue 1, red 3 to red 1, and read all the numbers backward). Good luck to the Game Announcer figuring out which team was being intro'd!

We have a sheet of paper, the emcee, nothin'!

We have definitely thought about this many times! It would be quite the nightmare!

2771 won the DCA at Traverse City, but would not be eligible to win an RCA outside of Michigan. I'm not sure if there is a similarly-numbered team who you meant to add there. Still a nice job putting this together!

This is the fact that really jumped out at me as I have been watching who has been winning over the last 5 weeks of competition. Last year out of all the RCA winners for 7 weeks of competition, the first time winners totaled less than this years YTD first time winners total, and we still have two weeks to go!

Huge congrats to all teams that have won an RCA this year!!

With that being said, and the highly unlikely winner to be a 1st year RCA, guesses might be a lot more accurate on who actually wins this year at CMP.
I made a fun bet on the two that I am choosing for this year.
Last year was easy.

I'd bet this years WCA trophy smells like bacon.

Well that is interesting given a certain explosive shirt I happen to have chosen to wear today...
