I agree with you whole-heartedly, Mike. Though I do occasionally see flaws in the award system, I do not think the teams that won the Chairman's Award (as well as other awards) were not deserving of the recognition: my only complaint would have to be that other teams that also deserved such recognition could not share the spotlight.
On the other hand, I do hate to see largely sponsored teams and/or teams in which the engineers take over all responsibilities, because often the result is less involved students. This isn't to say that there aren't teams with big sponsors who still work their butts off, so don't get me wrong.
I would like to give a sincere congratualation to the Bomb Squad, and other previous winners. But winning awards doesn't mean your team is the best, especially as the judges have more and more teams to choose from each year, so I don't think anyone should put too much worry into it.
just my two cents,
Ryan Shanley
