FIRST Team 1114: 2012 Chairman's Video

[Racer26]

I know who I'm rooting for to win the 2012 CCA. Bring it home for Canada and the 4-digit teams 1114!

Recognition on that stage can only serve to make the Simbotics Effect stronger.

Incredible video!
incredible students!
incredible mentors!
incredible robots!
incredible team!
Simbots are INCREDIBLE!!

Is it just me or does it seem like regional CA winners each year just get more and more amazing. I would hate to be the CCA judges, they have a really difficult job ahead of them. While I am rooting for 1114 this year, I almost feel there really needs to be 3 CCA given away each year. Think about it... there are more and more regionals each year and thus more CA winners, why not let there be more CCA's given out. The achievements of some of these CA winners are amazing, and they may have to chase the CCA for 3-5 years.

The thing about awarding more than one is the overall Chairman's aspect seems to become watered down to a certain amount of work that needs to be done to obtain the honor. I have to disagree with your statement only because there is always a team, like 1114, that will truly go above and beyond the "standard" for a Chairmans Award winner.

Thanks to everyone who has commented on our video. The amount of time that went into this production was immense. Our students essentially locked themselves in a "cave" and were putting in 14 hour days towards the end while working on this video. It was an entire team effort, and we're just as proud of it as we are of Simbot Jordan.

This video was incredible! Best of luck from team 103!

My first FIRST experience, 2005 IRI, I was approached by Karthik - he said they were starting a new event in Toronto the next year, and he would be honored if our team would consider participating.
At the time, I didn't know this guy from Adam; I also didn't know with which team he was associated.

This video, to me, perfectly captures the delicate balance of on- and off-field impact with the humility of the team and its members. 2012 is all about balance; 1114 reflects that.

It was such an amazing video! I wish I could know the video editing software, if I can.
