Re: Where are You Submitting for Chairmans?
Quote:
Since when has FLL become a ‘mandatory’ requirement for the Chairman’s Award. It seemed as though last year that the judges were given marching orders from FIRST that the winning team from each regional, had to have something to do with FLL, either by holding a competition or by starting ‘x’ number of FLL teams. I understand that FLL is the future of FRC, but I also believe that the traditional values of the RCA have been diluted by this drive. I still believe that it is more important for teams to inspire their students to getting their engineering degree, becoming an engineer, and then coming back and mentoring FRC teams. I also see a decline in the influence from the amount of community service that a team puts in. There is a segment in team 111’s Championship Chairman’s video that shows a student on the team, then later after graduating with her degree, has returned as a mentor to that team. When the announcer says “that team gets it”, that is what the RCA should be about, not how much money you have been able to put in FIRST’s bank account. Sorry, I had to get that off my chest…. |

Hawaiian Kids will be entering in Hawaii.
We plan on (and already started filming) putting a lot of emphasis on the video this year. Our actual 12-15 lb book and writeup is already in the making. |

Now that 236 has their well-deserved National Chairmans, who will be the first team to win CT in 6 years? The race is wide open!

Re: Where are You Submitting for Chairmans?
A team leader that got his team into the Hall of Fame once told me that winning Chairman's at your 'home' regional (one closest to your school) carries more weight than if you win it somewhere else at the Championship. However, I can't really speak for teams that have already won it.
