I second that one! I'm familiar with a few of the teams listed, but I'm sure all the teams deserved the award as much as the ones I know do.

Just an extra congratulations to Team 25! They've done so much, including mentoring my team!

Good luck to to all at Nationals, and especially the judges for their job picking a National winner!

Team 612 won the Chairmans Award at Chesapeake Regionals for the first time. This was our first Chairmans Award ever, and now we are looking forward to the Championship. I have no idea so far what do you have to in Championship regarding Chairmans. Is there another 10 minute presentation or anythingelse?

Congratulations to all the Winners of Chairmans Award. Good Luck with the rest of the season.

All the regional CA winners go onto be eligible for Champs CA. Yep, there is another interview, 10min like regionals.

I guess this would be a great time to overview the feedback we got from the Chesapeake Judges for Chairman, and try to add or delete some stuff.
This is the first year we won the Chairmans Award; i looked at the other teams, realizing that some has 3-4 years of chairmans history behind them. Its gonna be a tough competition for Chairmans. But the coolest thing i like about FIRST is that at the end everyone is a winner. I learned so much out of this experience, that i really don't care if we win or not (obviously we are going to give it a try); just to be around the teams and people who help this world being a better place is more than enough.
Good Luck to everyone with the rest of the season.

For what its worth we thought you guys (612) had an awesome entry and a great team. I know one of our veteran kids was actually crying while listening to the description of what your team had done with the robotic walker.

GREAT JOB!! Win or lose we look forward to seeing you in Atlanta.

Who else would like to see a 300+ team win it this year?

Here are the stats on Championship Honorable Mention, which was a new concept in 2004.

2004 Championship Honorable Mention: 341, 342, 1002

2005 Championship Honorable Mention: 118, 341, 365

341 is submitting in Philly with a very tough field of high quality teams, but we remain hopeful.

Good luck to the current winners and to all teams in the weeks ahead!!

Hasn't 341 been the honerable mention the last 3 or 4 years.

i thought that they added the honerable mention award in 2004. It could be that they won some kind of judges award in prior years that honored them in their efforts.

I beleive that 1108 won the Chairman's Award at Boilermaker in Boilermakers inagural year but I am not 100% sure.
Congrats to all teams who have won the Chairman's Award.
I understand this "legacy" issue, however I have one question. Do you think that a 4 year old team that has 3-peated with the Chairman's Award has a "legacy".

383 won the first Boston Regional Chairmans Award today (well, yesterday now) are they the first non-US team to win regional CA?

[J Flex 188]

Just to clear things up, I've noticed this being in asked in other threads as well. If you want to be technical, they are the first non-US team to win a regional CA during a U.S. event (I believe). However, with the founding of the inaugural Canadian Regional in the Hershey Centre, Team 188 received a regional CA in 2002.

610 was accorded with that honour in 2003, along with 1006 in 2004.

Team 812 won Chairman's at the Southern California Regional. This is their second year in a row.

[Joel J]

I want to say either 341 or 236 is due.. they've won it almost every year since FIRST began to do regional chairman's award presentations.
