Going along with FIRSTAE2004, unfortunately the Chairman's award is probably one of the most under-rated awards many a lot of members.

I'm in charge of our team's and I have high hopes for it and want to do more then I probably can do. The biggest problem is that I've had to beg students to help with it. The "making a robot to win the competition" part of it has taken over any student that I thought would have wanted to help me.

The other problem that I worry about is that I think that the award is becoming "an award to win to go to nationals" not the spirit it's meant to be.

Oh well, you win some you lose some.
