If you want to get a good idea of how little respect the Chairman's award is treated by FIRST you should've checked out what passed for the Hall of Fame. It was actually better than previous years but hardly adequate.

By "previous years" I'm sure you mean 2012 and 2011, as it was quite large prior to that.

I'm talking about since we've been to St. Louis.

I strongly commented on this in the championship survey sent out to teams.

This was one of the comments I put into the mentor surveys.

The hall of fame needs to be along the side of the hallway going into the main entrance of the pits, or JUST inside the door so that every single visitor walks by those displays. This is the highlight of FIRST, the best, and the most celebrated. Treat them like it.
