Actually I think you'd lose that bet. The importance of the chairman's award has been pretty well drilled into us. I for one know the chairman's award winners from the last few years, but I can only think of one national champion in the last two years and thats only because they're a local team I'm really jealous of

I think that the hall of fame is a great idea, but I also think that most experienced FIRSTers really do appreciate gracious professionalism and the values FIRST advocates. So much so, in fact that its a little scary, almost like a cult of personality. Of course its a very benign cult, with a noble purpose, and Dean is a LOT more genuine and decent than Kim Jong Il (sp?) or any other cult-leader in the history of the universe... I know Dean likes to tell everyone to appreciate their mentors and sponsors and all that, and I'm glad that he does, but I think it already happens.

There will be more info soon on the Hall of Fame and a couple of things that those already inducted are suppose to do to show their continued committment to the future of FIRST - since they can no longer compete for the chairmans award after they win it.

Interesting- you apparently confirm the posts above- the CyberSonics are a great team from Kintnersville, Pa.- back in the sticks of Bucks County. In the midst of the farms the always come up with a great machine and an enthusiastic team with a great attitude. We consider them good friends.

I think a part of the "we remembr the winners" posts are explained by the fact that the teams we seem to be mentioning are from the CD viewing area- a source of many champions. But lately the Chairmans has been a NJ regional thing....something we are hoping to continue ; )

The only problem is that some of the past Chairman's award winners no longer exist so you'll have to make do with a few less teams. Plus would the congress be led by the team mentors or the student team memebers from the Chairman's Award winning team? I'm sure somebody on our team knows where to find the kids from '92 and '94.

Re: Hall of Fame

Wayne, thanks for the kind words as always.

Hall of Fame recognition/application information is currently being finalized by a committee made up of FIRST staff and Hall of Fame member reps. This work is an extention of the initial workshop discussions that took place in Manchester this past summer during the Chairman's/Hall of Fame celebration(there are threads on these work sessions). My understanding is that FIRST is looking for a way to encourage Hall of Fame Chairman's teams to continue their growth and outreach, recognize those teams for continued contributions, and further highlight the Chairman's Award at events so more and more teams are inspired to submit CA entries.
