I also don't remember 33 receiving chairman's at MSC? Or a regional this year for that matter.

33 won at a district event but not at MSC.

My inner 987 fan boy is dying for them to win one, however I like the idea of 11 getting one.

Can confirm, 33 only won a DCA and didn't get it at MSC.

Personally, I never even tried to call it on Chairman's. There are always at least five or ten teams that are close enough together that it probably comes down to whose shoe was untied during the presentation. (That's hyperbole, but you get what I'm saying.)

While predicting who wins the CCA is very difficult and can't be based on anything other than opinion, I do believe 503 should be the next HoF team. Their Chairman's Award win at MSC marks the 10th time in team history they've won it, and it is the 7th consecutive year they've taken home an RCA.

1902 has to win one of these times.

There are so many deserving teams of this award that it's really disappointing that only one team can win. That might be one of the only benefits of next year, is that two of these teams can earn a CCA. With that in mind, the three teams I think are most likely to win this award are 987, 503, and 3132.

I am REALLY disappointed that 1816 didn't win a RCA this year. They are without a doubt one of the teams that are next in line for HoF for all the work that they have done in Minnesota and the Midwest.

All of the Minnesota teams (208 of them) can trace their roots back to the work that Green Machine has done. My team has been a beneficiary of the work that they have done - we have taken what they did and put together our own playbook. There are so many teams that we look up to (2052, 2175, 2220, 2512, 2169, etc) but 1816 is always the team that we compare ourselves to. Just wrong that they are not at Champs this season.

Lots of interesting picks in this thread.

It's interesting to me that one of my top picks hasn't been mentioned yet.

I would also highly recommend reading some of the essays before you put a number out there.

3211 is absolutely inspirational. They won in Western Canada. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUeL...ature=youtu.be

987.

Pulling for 987

Still not sure how 503 hasn't won yet. Winning 10 RCAs (7 consecutive), the most of any team, and not getting HOF is somewhat baffling.

3132 is a great candidate. Their work in expanding FIRST Australia has been incredible with their Robots in The Outback program, as well as their phenomenal work in China, representing FIRST at a huge number of events, most recently the WARC in Beijing.

IIRC, they also toured China, visiting rural villages and establishing contacts and helping teams to get on their feet in FRC in China.

[Akash Rastogi]

While I love 11, I don't think they are at HOF level just yet.

I believe 503 or 987 deserve it.
