3847 won the Chairman’s Award at the 2012 Dallas-West Regional. We are honored to receive this award and it was highly unexpected.

Congrats!! I know how hard y’all probably worked for this very prestigious award!

Thank you Matt, congratulations on your team’s RCA from Alamo.

I’ve uploaded the poster boards that we used during the presentation here.

The three presenters wrote their own notes/speeches and they aren’t on our shared storage space so I can’t upload those yet but I’m having them write them out in a bit more detail and I’ll post them as soon as I can.

You guys deserved it!

Allen,

Congratulations on the well deserved Chairman’s Award. You guys are so amazing that it is hard to believe you are only a 2nd year team. 456 was so honored to be selected for your alliance. Lone Star folks, watch out for 3847! They may be young but they are an awesome team with an awesome machine!

Allen, I can’t wait to see you and ALL of 3847 at Bayou next year! :wink:

Sincerely,
Chuck

Congrats guys! As a member of another second year Chairman’s winning team, I know how sweet the win must have felt :). Can’t wait to meet you all at Champs!

Congratulations to you and your team, Alan!

See you at Lone Star.

Phil

Congratulations to such a young team winning Chairman’s! Obviously, you guys Get It. Hope to see you in St Louis!

Congrats to Allen, Christine and this rest of the team. Looks like all your hard work paid off this year. Good luck at LSR and at St. Louis!

Congrats :smiley:

I’ve seen Spectrum or what used to be the Roaring Crusaders transform after they brought on Allen Gregory.

Spectrum has amazing students that really get the message, helping out in droves and making Spectrum shine !:smiley:

Houston was fortunate to have two Rookie workshops, a scrimmage and a pre-Lone Star scrimmage this year. That is a great sign for the future of Houston Robotics.

At every event, Spectrum was one of the largest teams helping out and participating in each event !

I’m excited about the future of robotics in Houston with so many great teams making huge impacts on the community.

Houston easily takes the cake in Texas as the top producing impact teams.

118 - 3 Chairman’s
1429 - 2 Chairman’s
57 - 1 Chairman’s
3847 - 1 Chairman’s

Does anyone have the statistics for EI awards among Houston teams ?

It will be interesting to see who is competing for chariman’s at Lone Star this year !

Don’t forget 364 (2), 418, 2415.

I think that there’s some team from Hawaii with a couple too…:rolleyes:

57 - 2
118 - 4
364 - 1
418 - 1
1477 - 1
2415 - 1
3103 - 2

I have my pick…:wink:

With these stats, I feel that 118 should either win Chariman’s or EI at Lone Star and Qualify for the Championship regardless of Robot Performance.

I remember back in 2005, the Robonauts were honorable mention for the Chairman’s Award at Championship. Funny how FIRST doesn’t keep track of those statistics any more. :slight_smile:

Our 3 presenters wrote down a transcript of the speech they gave to the Chairman’s judges.

Chairman’s Speech Transcript

This obviously isn’t exactly what they said as they were doing it from memory and notes but it’s as close as they could get after giving it.

I’m going to try to get them to film a practice session before Championship and I’ll post that video as well.
