Chairmans Award

In what i can imagine what other teams face and what I've seen in my personal experience is that smaller and less funded teams experience more difficulty in putting together a chairmans award. They have less money, time, resources, and things to put into the Chairman's Award. Larger teams have more people available to work on the chairmans award and more people to do the jobs needed to have stuff to put together into the chairmans award. If you are a small team you don't have enough time or people to be able to spare them in order to get out into the community to spread the word about FIRST. This makes it more difficult to get material to put together into the submission. If your team is less funded you can't spend all the time working on a submission, you need that time to fundraise. Also If your team is less funded, your submission is obviously going to be less put together and professional looking because it will be to much to afford. Basically I feel chairmans award favors large, heavily funded teams, much like the rest of FIRST.
