I know this because at FIRST Place this summer, I was working as a camp counselor, and took on a separate project of my own- since I was living in NH for a month without knowing too many people in the area, I had free time.

That project was looking through all the old Chairman's videos that were stored at FIRST Place and numbering them to the correct teams so that FIRST can make copies, contact the teams, and see if they wanted them back for their own team history. Unfortunately, a great number of them were damaged from flooding a few years back, and a lot of great FIRST history was destroyed, but there are still a few '03 totes full to the brim with Chairman's Award videos.

03? Really? That was the first year that the submission was four pages and nothing else. I was with 103 that year and was fortunate enough to be with the winning team. We produced no (chairman's) video that year. Maybe they were from teams that did the video as an "extra" and left it with judges?
