Typical Due Date of Chairman's Award?

In the past, when was the chairman's award due? During the six week building period or after?

First doesn't have anything on their website anymore about the due date, other than the Chairman Award questions in the documents section...

help?

Typically the Chairmans is due during the 6 weeks period. I expect it to be the same again this year and it should be clearly stated in the manuals and on the website after kickoff.

Re: Typical Due Date of Chairman's Award?

Last year the entry had to be received about 3 days after the robot ship date.

If things stay the same, I would assume a Chairman's due date between the 22nd and 25th of February.

Re: Typical Due Date of Chairman's Award?

Be sure to continuously monitor the updates section of the FIRST website as clarifications may also be made to the Chairman's Award section of the manual.

I encourage all teams to post their submissions in the White Papers section of CD after submitting them to FIRST - since the submissions are not usually seen by other teams, it's one way we can share what we are all doing with each other, thus helping to grow and spread the mission of FIRST!

You might also want to consider joining NEMO - the Non-Engineering Mentor Organization - because topics such as the Chairman's Award are discussed by fellow NEM's. In fact, it was lengthy discussions about the Chairman's Award that prompted the formation of the organization last year!

For more info about NEMO, PM me.

Re: Typical Due Date of Chairman's Award?

http://www2.usfirst.org/2004comp/8-T...corporated.pdf is still up - for a few days anyway. It lists Friday, February 20, 2004 as last year's submission deadline. It also explains the rules for the CA "competition".

Re: Typical Due Date of Chairman's Award?

wow, that means even less time. it was a real convience last year being able to put some final touches on the chairman's submissions while not having to worry about the robot, but it looks like we wont have that luxury this year.

Re: Typical Due Date of Chairman's Award?

I've got a question as well. I never figured out the connection between Chairman's Award and rookie teams. A couple people I met over the weekend were wondernig as well. Is there one?

How do you mean? As in, why do some rookie teams do Chairman's Award submissions, even though they can't win the award? If you have a NASA grant, it's a requirement to do so. Also, it is suggested in the manual, though not required (we didn't do it), to win Rookie All-Star. If that wasn't your question, feel free to clarify.

Re: Typical Due Date of Chairman's Award?

Thank you Joey for the clarification. I jsut didn't know if teams actaully were allowed to or had to or could win it. That makes a lot of things more clear.

Re: Chairman's Award and Rookie Teams

As a rookie team, we will go through the steps of answering the questions posed by the Chairman's Award just for the BENEFIT that the thought process will bring to our team to have ONE COMMON GOAL and strategy for this year's event(s).

So, I'd suggest that ALL rookie teams at least go through the thought process. I created a simple Excel spreadsheet template that you can even e-mail around to team members and everybody can enter their own thoughts and one person can pick & choose the "best of the best".

Then, put the form up on your team wall as part of your "mission"....
