So true. I have spent a lot of time explaining the Chairman's award to people who've seen the coverage and ask why if we won the competition we aren't the team there. It's nice that people are talking about FIRST but has become a personal nuisance. Everytime I see a local FRC related article I find myself explaining the reality to people verses what the article has for information. While this issue isn't as bad as it used to be I wish I didn't cringe with every article I read thinking about what I need to explain to people when they come talk to me about it.
