So what did you think of the Hall of Fame Display?

[Alex Golec]

I dropped by the displays a couple of times during my spare time (I had spare time?) The displays were great and it was just fun to walk around and look at how teams have participated in FIRST, and also to look back upon FIRST history. I'm looking forward to next year's display with the addition of team 254 (congrats to them!)

I was VERY happy seeing the displays and the whole "hall of fame" thing finally play into something solid and unique. I'd been waiting for this... Somehow.

I thought it was great. It is very important to have something like that for two reasons:

1. Because there's definitely credit deserved to teams who have received the honor of Chairman's Award. Each one was unique and informative, and this is one of the perks of being a chairman's team- what drives people to want the position: recognition.

2. More importantly, the hall of fame succeeded in showing examples of what other teams can do to help out the FIRST community and embody the spirit. Yeah, I'm excited. I talked with one member of a team in a display there (and thank you very much for doing so, whoever you were!) and it really made me think about the experience I get from everything, and what my team can do to be even better. That's inspiration, one of the key goals of FIRST.

This year my team was in the running for the Chairman's award at Nationals- I know that the hall of fame put what I was going through with presentations and whatnot in perspective. Now, I won't have to walk up to 175 Buzz's pit and ask them questions about their experience (at Nats, anyhow) with Chairman's. Let's just say that this whole Hall of Fame thing is breaking the ice for everyone. Progress, Progress. I'm happy.
