Re: Two Chairmans Winners Per Event

So I have a thought (seeing the other side of the coin) about the prestige... for those of you that remember, there used to only be one "national champion". FIRST decided teamwork was a better way to go, and why not have more "winners"... so why should this be so different with Chairmans? What if there are two teams that we should be emulating at the regionals? or two teams in the world that are great rolemodels? or even stranger, what if two teams wanted to work together for Chairmans?

I think when FIRST introduced the concept of 2 and then 3 championship winners, we were all hesitant, and very reluctant. You were no longer had the "best FIRST Robot", you had to rely on someone else... you had "one of the Best Robots". Maybe with the size of FIRST, with the number of phenomenal teams out there, this needs to be rethought?

I dunno... just trying to see the opposing viewpoint.
But we're talking about a whole nother animal when it comes to alliances. Alliances worked together to achieve that goal, two or three teams don't work together to win the chairmans award. They don't do the same things, work with eachother, do the same presentations together. Chairmans from the start has been about recognizing one team as outstanding, and the addition of the regional chairmans award was the origional push to recognize more teams for that honor.
