In Reply to: Is the Chairman's Award fixed? I believe so..... posted by Vinny Bushemi on 8/2/2000 2:47 PM MST:
Your feelings are understandable, many seem to have them. Maybe there is a cure.
If your goal is to win awards, you will be disappointed. Focus instead on giving with
no expectation of repayment. You will be rewarded every time, individually and collectively.
Students are in a unique position to give. Advertise the competition experience as a positive one.
Ask questions of teachers and engineers. Show them that you want to learn more, and have fun doing it.
These 'robots' are complex electro-mechanical systems. As such, they present an opportunity to learn many principles. Take advantage of what the engineers and teachers offer you. They will be rewarded, and so will you.
Sounds like you've done things like these. The point is to be satisfied with a job well done, and you may be pleasantly surprised with an award if you document your efforts. Just don't make a trophy your goal.
Just my thoughts.
