2013 Chairman's Award Submissions

[AllenGregoryIV]

A few teams have started posting their 2013 Chairman's Award submissions.

I started a Google spreadsheet to keep track of these so that more teams can find them and be inspired. Anyone can edit. If your team would like to have other teams see your submission please add links to the spreadsheet.

But its good practice for when you do qualify again.

As far as I know, no Championship Chairman's Winning team has ever reentered, even those that are allowed to by the rules.

No, and I don't think any of them would really consider entering. However it is valuable thing to get experience giving presentations, and then getting critiqued, in front of people. I wouldn't have a problem with CC teams presenting at a competition.

I completely agree, your last statement just made it seem like you assumed they would be entering again when their time was up.

At the annual chairman's HOF meetings, it was unanimous that hall of fame means one time, otherwise its not really a HOF. Having said that, generally there are 10 or less entries for Chairman's at any given regional. It was felt that HOF teams that competed for Chairmans again, would cause the already limited pool of CA submitters to decline. The point it seemed to us was to get more teams involved not have the same pool fight over for it again. Maybe the decision is wrong... but that was the stand at the last few meetings. HOF are trying to help other become HOF members. We want to spread FIRST message and that means more teams, not the same teams. That said, it is the HOF teams mission to find other ways to spread FIRSTs message. We hold many other ether STEM events like NURC and compete in AUVSI Robosub. Rise to the next challenge and all that. You don't need to be fighting for Chairman's in FIRST to be a chairman's team! Doing the right thing is always right, not just when then there is an award attached to it.....

That's not true, I know of a HOF team that re-entered and didn't win at the regional level.

We're up to 8 teams who have posted their Chairman's essay. I know there are many more teams willing to share.

Thanks for posting your team is awesome and has shared so much this season. I hope to see you at championship this year.

Now that the week one regionals are over. Do any of the teams that submitted in week one want to post their Chairman's Submissions? We still only have nine 2013 submissions.

[Mc Kenna]

It might be worth noting if they were winning submissions and at what regional they won.

That's a great idea. Once we get some that have won, I'll add a column or two. I've reached out to all the winners from week 1 to see if they are willing to share their submissions. Hopefully we will start getting more teams posting their essays.
