Go to Post FIRST is difficult and it is challenging, but you aren’t necessarily required to go off and build an 8 motor drivetrain and 4 motor / 8 pneumatic piston arm mechanism for the heck of it when a 2 motor non-shifting drivetrain and 2 motor arm does just as good a job. - Bill Gold [more]

Re: Chairman's Award -- is the bar too high now?

Simply put, there are more teams then there were 10 years ago. Thus, the bar keeps climbing............
Teams that are deserving year in and year out, will eventually get their due. 341 was due for a while now, and I can think of a few others where its only a matter of time.

Our team has applied 7 times in our history and have won it 4 times now. In 2002 SJ, 2006 LV, 2007 NJ we didnt win. We won in 2003, 2008, 09, and 10 in SJ, HI, HI, and AZ respectively. In 2003, we felt we had a well-rounded program, but was rather limited in our outreach and sustainability plan at the time. Currently, we are very proud of how far we have come, considering the challenge of being from Hawaii. To be able to meet many teams year after year and compete in multiple events throughout the year, it has been a great opportunity for our students!
My job is to ensure that these opportunities continue, learning from the best of teams. If you cant walk away from any tournament with at least 3 new innovative and impressive things teams are doing, then you've missed a great opportunity!
