All you have to do is mentor some FLL or robotics teams and exemplify the ideals of FIRST and you have a good shot of winning the chairman's award, especially with the new regional chairman's awards.

This is not necessarily true. Judges can be quickly educated on how the politics work. They can ask about teams and form an opinion but I'm sure that someone will mention that this team also does this or that and it doesn't really take much to recognize some names as being sponsored by a big corp. Also just mentoring FLL teams and what not isn't as easy as you may think. Yeah sure you show up tell kids some stuff and write down that you did that. What about actually doing something with those kids? Something extra like show them how FRC goes, show them your shop and try to get them interested in what you do during the build season. OK just my thoughts.
