1511’s goals never waver; they just continue to expand.
Their standard of excellence continues to expand as well.

Would not surprise me to see 1676 as a finalist if they win this weekend.

Although only having just won Chairmans at SVR, I’d still bet on 971 being a finalist. The program has been doing lots over the years for all of FRC, even contributing to the KOP (sort of) and by selling the Spartan Board.

67 only won 1 Regional Chairman’s award (2005 West Michigan Regional), prior to winning the World Championship Chairman’s Award (2005).

So…the you do not have to win a bunch of regional/district Chairman’s awards to come up big at the World level.

If you have the right message and present it in the right way, anything can happen!

Since we’re talking about amounts of Chairman’s awards won before a team got it at Champs, I’d like to point out that since 2011, every winning CCA team has had at least four Chairman’s awards. Not saying it’s a requirement, but it’s looking like the new standard.

FYI 503 did not qualify for champs Chairman’s so adjust your predictions accordingly.

This ends the Championship-qualifying Chairman’s streak for the 3 top teams. :frowning:


503 7 [2010 - 2016]
604 7 [2010 - 2016]
2486 6 [2011 - 2016]

Now the streak is tied between:


1311 6 [2012 - 2017]
1540 6 [2012 - 2017]
1885 6 [2012 - 2017]

Was surprised that 503 did not receive this year. Looks like many teams have stepped up their activities to promote FIRST and STEM, and it’s getting competitive.
