Total newbie to the Chairman's Award

[Matt Leese]

I would say that it's a good idea to create the award submission even if you don't think you'd win. You know why? For the same reason we all build the robots. I highly doubt any of us expect to be national champions in any given year (we may wish it, but don't expect it). I think however that you can learn a lot from creating the presentation and at the same time learn a lot about your team. It'd be much easier to tell what your team can improve on when you already know what you do. I guess I should preface this by saying I've never been on a team that's submitted a Chairman's Award but we plan to next year (well, we planned to this year but there weren't enough people to do it).
