Re: What can make a FIRST team a "renowned" FIRST team

A similar topic was raised here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ht=elite+teams

That said, there are many paths to legend status in FIRST--on the field, off the field, Chairman's, ChiefDelphi, and other areas tend to be the most common--but most teams who most would consider to be in that sort of position today seem to have some combination of them. Even winning a Regional Chairman's or a Regional Championship won't necessarily do the job these days, given the increasing numbers of them that must be awarded as the number of regionals grow.
