The next best one I can think of is FLR where 340 and 1511 are neck and neck for the award.

Actually, 365 won it in 06, 05 and 02
In 03, 341 won it at Philly, and 357 won it at MD (where 365 applied). For more background on the Philly Chairman’s teams check this post

Also, 236 Techno Ticks has won it 4 times (3 in row at CT).

They have been mentioned earlier in this post, but here are the teams I know of that have won on 3 different years (if you count winning 2, regional & championship, in the same year, the list grows by several teams):
79 (5 years in a row, variety of locations including Florida, Denver, and Las Vegas)
236 (not sure years/locations)
341 (2003-2005, Philly & Chesapeake)
365 (2002, 2005-06, Philly & Pittsburgh)
503 (WMR & GLR)
842 (2005-2007, Arizona)
1002 (2004-2006, Peachtree)

As for the most competitive Chairman's regional, Ed, add VCU to your list. In 2007, VCU had 27 Chairman's applicants, including 3 2006 winners (384, 612, and 1002), each of whom has finished in the Top 10 at the Championship level before. 116 also received full "currently strong" marks and no "needs improvement" marks. 435 has also won the RCA in the past, and submitted there.

I think you're talking about 48. We've won Buckeye Chairman's the past two years. It will be a challenge to earn a 3rd straight award.

When I heard about the Chairman's field at VCU, I was in awe. It must have been very difficult to be a judge for that one. 116, 1002, 384 and 612 are all teams that deserve an RCA.

Another team at Philly that is often overlooked on CD is Lansdale Catholic Team 272. They won WFA & RCA in Pittsburgh (2004?). They have one of the most enthusiastic, hardworking, and helpful teams in FIRST. They also do very well on the field each year.

Here's one nobody has mentioned yet: Team 1108 https://my.usfirst.org/myarea/index....info&team=1108.
They have won three Chairman's in a row, at three different regionals, and won the national Rookie All-Star in 2003, which is almost as good. Thier awards list is unbelivable for how young they are.

Wow, 3 RCA at 3 different regionals, very impressive! Dave

[falconmaster]

All that info is incredible! I knew the CD community would be able to list them all. So it seems that there are 7 teams that have done it consecutive or not, and same regional or not.

Any predictions on what team will have a good shot for the national title, and why.

We are still new at this and are trying to learn what we could do next. Thanks all.

1511 beat us to it this year, We have CA, CA and EI from 05, 06, and 07, respectively.

I'm talking about for years to come.
Both teams will probably be trading the award back and forth between them for as long as they still qualify for it.

Techno Ticks, Team 236 won 4 in a row.......2003 at the inaugural BAE in Manchester, NH then 2004, 2005 and 2006 at UTC in Hartford, CT.

We were at all of them and finally learned our lesson this year......we submitted in Boston.

Ha Ha... We will never learn! The Ticks are a great team, and Bash at the Beach is a fun event, I hope they win again

I'm looking forward to 578 and 250 stepping up the competition as well. The more the merrier! And better for the community!
