Here you go Madi:
As posted hereyesterday.
C.A. - 922 Ultimate
E.I. - 118 Robonauts
R.A. - 2158 Trobots
Also, if Chairman’s was given out at all 37 regionals, you are still one short on your list including LS & DS Regionals.

So many good bets this year… 365 and 503 are both previous honorable mentions, 236 is a five-time regional winner, 190 is an original team, and 71 and 217 are just legendary. It should be interesting to see.
I call MOE (365), unless anything changed in their presentation/what they do for the worse from last year to this year, they will win. We’re talking about a team that has been very close to winning the past 6 years, and last year nearly beat out 111 to win. They’re balanced, they always have new ideas and projects they’re working on, and THEY ARE FIRST in Deleware and have a strong presence in the Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey area.
There is no other team like MOE.
Well you have some of the perennial powerhouses up on that list who will have the best chances of winning: 217, 71, 365, 79, 75, 503
But there are also some great teams on that list who have really come along in the past couple years, and would be very deserving of the award; 612, 1511, 1305, (and probably more that I don’t know enough about). Every team that wins a regional Chairmans Award is a powerhouse team in their community, and this is what makes it difficult to determine who is more deserving of the national award.
There are a lot of great teams up for the award and many of whom will win the award some time in the future, but for this year I say its the year of the Thunder Chickens!
Thanks.
I think that would be Israel Regional.
As far as my own prediction, first of i was amazed to not see 45 on the list. Don’t know what happen to them. On the other hand, 365, 842, 217, 71 and 79 are great teams and have done a lot to embody and convey the message of FIRST. As easy it was last year to point out teams, its getting harder and harder due to more competition and more team involvement in their community. Its going to boil down to the interviews…

My money is going with either 5 tie winner at UTC (sorry, 4 tie at UTC and ! at BAE) Techno Ticks. The have a HUGELY STRONG presence in CT in FRC and FLL.
My other bet is Gompeii and the Herd (190). Although they are a new comer to the CA winners list, Ken Stafford and his crew are HUGE in MA. The only reason they have not won multiple years in a row is they have not submitted multipe years in a row. Their presence and program are far reaching.
For Davis: 1359 (The Scallywags) did a great job in winning the regional chairman’s award
My picks:
503 - a force to be considered knowing they organize the large kick-off gathering at Novi High School and boast a pretty large team.
71 - 13 years in existence, still going quite strong, very good reputation, their website displays some pretty impressive community impact, very good contender.
27 - Pretty impressive resume.
These three mostly trigger gut feelings in me after looking at that long list, but knowing the nature of the award, it is extremely hard to predict who will get it.
Good Luck Everyone! Looks like this will be a fun competition.

Something was wrong with 2158’s name on the display, Lone Star did not take the most updated information on the team database
It should be AusTIN CANS (instead of trobots)
one of the re submitting honorable mentions from last year, or 236, or 190 (if they didn’t get honorable mention last year).
45 submitted our entry at the Boilermaker Regional, where the CA was given to CyberBlue, team 234. This team is VERY deserving, and could be the underdog who can pull of a CA win at the Championships.
btw… they also have 2 Regional wins (Boilermaker and Long Island) this year. This is turning out to be quite a year for our friends to the south.

Well, with Wildstang as an exception last year, lately the Championship Chairman’s Award winners have been first-time Chairman’s recipients. 103, 67 and 254 all share this characteristic unless the FIRST website is wrong. I’m going to predict a first-time Chairman’s winner as the Championship winner, how about 1305.
I’ll call 217: Mentoring many FLL teams, running a huge FLL Tournament, fulfilling Dean’s homework every year, hosting the Ford Robotics Invitational (aka Sweet Repeat), co-hosting the Kettering Kickoff event, Mentoring other teams, cooperating on design with 229, the FIRST demonstration at the YES expo on the NFL’s Ford Field, successfully leading students into engineering and design, and of course, building an unbelievable robot year after year.
That’s all I could think of off the top of my head. I’ve never actually had the pleasure of reading their chairman’s submission 
However, that’s not to undermine the creativity and success of every other deserving team out there: CyberBlue’s international cooperation program, Miss Daisy’s Team-in-a-box, 66 bringing younger students to competitions, and so many more.
And yes, my call might just be slightly biased.

My vote goes to 842: Honorable Mention Chairman’s last year, CMP Engineering Inspiration the year before… This season they’ve picked up a Chairman’s award and EI already. They have a strong presence in their region, which includes Mexico. Don’t count our friends from AZ out.
I say they move it out of the Midwest to a different region this year - 365.
My money is either on 217 or 503. 217 has a huge presence, but I didn’t hear their announcement, so I don’t know about the strength of their submission.
I have heard 503’s. I have seen 503. This submission is really, really strong in terms of content. They have made huge contributions not only to the FIRST community, but also to their local community. They sounded like they had an excellent submission and presentation and I’m thinking that they’ll be the ones I’ll see on that stage at the end!
I promise you guys, team 71 will win the Championship Chairmans Award. They are the one of the best programs when it comes to starting new teams. They are one of the truly amazing teams in FIRST.
If a team win a regional Chairman’s 5 years in a row, they must be doing something right.
It’s time to reward 79 for their good works and bring them into the realm of legends.
To add to the master list:
922
1657
there is one other team (thats only 36 teams total)
