Young Chairman's Award Winners

[Ginger Power]

I'm very interested in hearing the stories of teams that have won the Chairman's Award as a very young team. In this case I'm defining young as the first 4 years as a team.

I'm interested in hearing if your teams had experienced mentors, or if you were just a team that caught on quickly. What kinds of things does your team dp that you have added to your Chairman's resume? Were you a Rookie All Star? I guess what I'm trying to get at is: How did such young teams capture FIRST's most prestigious award, and how did such young teams make such a big impact so quickly?

I'm also very interested to hear outside opinions of the teams listed above (as well as other teams that have won CA as a young team). What kind of interactions have you had with these teams, and what impression did they leave on you and/or your team?
