As a HOF team, did you folks get another trophy to keep as the CMP award winner? I thought I saw a multi-layer one of our current types in the past somewhere......

I remember a VHS uploaded to google video outlining the 1990s history of FIRST including the clock... I can't seem to find it but if anyone else knows of it please share!

There was a second trophy presented to 842 last year. It was similar to FRC Champion/Chairman's trophies, but much larger in size. Anyone who'd seen an FRC trophy would recognize it immediately as a trophy from FIRST, but nobody would mistake it for anything lesser.

As Billfred stated, there have been team kept trophies with the Championship CA in the past. Here's a photo from 2003 that shows them:

Just like other awards, there have been two given two the team - one, presumably, for a primary sponsor and one for the team to display as it sees fit.

I'm bumping this thread back to the top in case someone else has any information on the history of the Chairman Trophy Clock.

So far Rich offered, "The CA clock was indeed handcrafted by Dean for this very purpose. To the best of my knowledge, this is actually the second one he crafted as the original was damaged in shipping once (I believe)."

There must be someone on Chief Delphi that can add to the history of the clock origins.

Thanks,

Here's just one of a few posts on CD mentioning the C/A clock:
Not much info, but something... Think of it as a teaser. lol
