CONGRATULATIONS!

Probably the smallest Chairman's winners I've seen. Truly an inspiration to smaller teams (such as us).

Congratulations Team 1429 and thank you for coming to our fair city of Kansas City to compete. I was honored to be able to shake your teams' hands and talk to you about the fine work you have done in your hometown!

A Texas team coming into Kansas and pulling Chairman's , That's awesome. This might give credence to many of the Texas teams , 57 , 118 , 418, 922, 1429 that make chairman's at Lone Star so competitive.

Thanks AL,

I know this is kind of thing is old hat for Wildstang....HA!

But seriously, it was extremely exciting for our team to win this most prestigious award. We have really worked hard on trying to keep up the "gracious professionalism" that FIRST wants us to represent in our community and our school.

We are also thankful of teams like Wildstang and MOE who have been gracious enough to put on their websites what they have done in the past to make them successful winners of the Chairman's award.

Congrats to all the regional Chairmans winners, and hope to see you all in Atlanta.

Paul,
We may make it look like old hat but all teams need to keep working at community involvement and mentoring to keep bringing up the standards for our students and those to follow. When any team is recognized for Chairman's or Engineering Inspiration we all applaud inside that there are so many teams that work at making a difference. We look to our predecessors, teams like HOT, Moe, Chief Delphi, Xerox, Cheesy Poofs and all the others for inspiration but we also look at those that are coming behind us. Teams like yours help us all to look good and it helps us all help the rookies coming up. Good luck to all the regional award winners, we will be seeing you and cheering for you in Atlanta. Keep up the great work you do!
