Looking at their program would give anyone a good idea of what a Chairman's quality team is. My team has gotten so close to Chairman's, winning Engineering Inspiration at Sacramento in 2013 and 2015. Maybe this year will be our year.
It's kind of disheartening for teams like us who can't afford trips to China, yet we do our hardest to change our community.

The Chairman's Award, at times, seems to have a price tag attached to it. And along with the price tag comes a sort of "number supersizing" where one team has to start/assist/mentor X amount of teams and reach out to X amount of people to be worthy.
