Where are You Submitting for Chairmans?

Might be a bit early but I wanted to start a list of who's applying where. Its always fun to see your competition and gauge how much better of a job you need to do.

I have a feeling this year will be a competition between a lot of top contenders, many of whom are aiming straight for a Championship Chairman's Award.

Post away!

As of right now we're totally torn about where to apply. Boston or our home in NJ.

Re: Where are You Submitting for Chairmans?

Akash, I don't think it is ever too early to start thinking about Chairman's.

There certainly are different benefits of submitting your chairman's award at each of the places.

For one: submitting at your home regional makes you more comfortable, you have a longer lasting relationship with not only the teams and volunteers, but also the needs of the region (which makes it more applicable your peers and judges).

On the other hand, when we submitted Chairman's not at out home regional (philadelphia) but instead at Washington DC we had one of the most amazing experiences. Maybe it was just the regional we were at, but I felt that it was more of a rewarding experience.

As far as the teams that are competing for the championship chairmans award. Those teams don't need to worry about where they submit. The championship chairman's teams as you know are the best that we have to offer in our community and it shouldn't matter where they go to prove it.

Good luck with your decision and with the rest of your season.

Best regards,

Phil

Re: Where are You Submitting for Chairmans?

Since we won NJ Chairman's in 2008, we wont go for that one.

We are probably going to aim for wherever our other regional is. (Boston , NYC, Long Island, or Virginia)

Re: Where are You Submitting for Chairmans?

Hope Boston is ready for our submission. This will be the first time since 05 and 06 that we'll be applying to a different regional in hopes of a win. Other years we've submitted at NJ after winning in 05 at the request of the judges and our mentors. I'm hoping for the best

Re: Where are You Submitting for Chairmans?

Good luck, between 1714 (probable) and team 93 (definately) you'll be hard pressed to win, and you will definately need it.

Re: Where are You Submitting for Chairmans?

It's a pretty safe bet that 1714's submitting in Wisconsin; though I've confirmed this with no one on the team (read: you know as much as I do) I'd be pretty shocked if we submitted at 10,000 Lakes.

I'm hoping 2062 and 2826 submit at their non-Wisconsin event; they'd give 1714 a run for our money for sure. I'm already nervous about 93

I wouldn't worry too much about the Wave since second year teams typically don't win Regional Chairman's.

P.S. I finally figured out where they got their logo/name

Never, and I really mean this, underestimate a young team.

Re: Where are You Submitting for Chairmans?

I do suppose you have a point there. They did win the Rookie Inspiration Award at 10k Lakes and the WI Regoinals, plus taking top seed in MN and then winning... Maybe they'll win but they will definately have tough competition.

I've seen 2nd year team win chairmans. Winning chairmans has nothing to do with how long you've been in FIRST. It has everything to do with what you have done while you have been in FIRST and the impact your team has made on its community and the FIRST community as a whole.

And their logo/name for those who don't know is from the city of Oshkosh's logo.
They just added circuitry to the logo of the city's. It is a very cool and clever name.

We will be submitting to our home regional which is WI. I agree that it is rare for a second year team to win, but I am disappointed that my old team has little confidence in us.............

I would look out for team 1306 the badger bots at the WI regional. They helped start several new FLL teams and will be hosting the FLL state competition in December of 2010. They also have some great information for rookie teams about how a competition works and how to do alliance selections.

Re: Where are You Submitting for Chairmans?

While a second year or rookie team does not secondarily have a three year track record, it is still possible for a new team to win a regional Chairman's Award.

Last year, team 2486, the Coconuts, won the AZ CA as a rookie team.

In previous years, they did have a FTC team so they were familiar with FIRST goals and philosophy and they had asked for advice from Falcon Robotics, 842. They have been very active in the northen Arizona community, forming Lego teams and mentoring new FrC teams as well as promoting STEM education in the flagstaff area. They were well prepared for their rookie year and had an awesome Chairman presentation.

I bet it has been a long time since a rookie team gave a Chairman presentation at the championship.
