I am well aware of the accomplishments of 1108 but I didn’t have them on my list because it was for Missouri not Kansas, as for 1710 I just couldn’t remember at the time where they were from only knew that they had an outstanding program. Thanks for the clarification though.
There’s a lot of Chairman’s Award parity in NH… I think a lot of the teams in NH do similar things and many of them are deserving of their efforts.
I’ll agree with 1058 and 811 being the best candidates from NH, but I’d put 1519 “in the mix” with 131, 166 and 3467 as teams who have received at least 1 RCA in recent years and with good resumes to repeat. Do watch 1073 and 2342 as a candidate with a rapidly growing resume. I’m putting the number of DCA’s or RCA’s and Engineering Inspiration wins in the last 10 seasons in parenthesis…
Top tier:
811 - 2 Chairman’s ('14 GSD and '14 DCMP) 1 Engineering Inspiration ('15 GSD)
1058 - 3 Chairman’s ('12 GSR, '14 NEU, '15 UNH)
In the Mix:
131 - 1 Chairman’s ('13 GSR) 2 Engineering Inspirations ('10 GSR, '11 GSR)
166 - 1 Chairman’s ('11 GSR)
1073 - no Chairman’s or Engineering Inspiration wins since 2006
1519 - 2 Chairman’s ('09 GSR, '15 NEU) 1 Engineering Inspiration ('14 RIDE)
2342 - no Chairman’s or Engineering Inspiration wins since team founding
3467 - 1 Chairman’s ('14 UNH) 2 Engineering Inspiration ('14 NEU, '14 DCMP)
I will attempt the Hawaii list…
Since Chairmans require quite a bit of new team creation, the award is seldom given to a Hawaii team.
Especially outside the state but does happen.
This is obviously difficult due to the 2000+ miles of water surrounding the state and economic limitations to outer island teams.
Since Hawaiian Kids (359) did their statewide outreach push in 2010/2011 there isn’t much left in the state to work with.
Way to go Glenn!!
This, I am sure helped them earn the well deserved Championship Chairmans they received in 2011, our rookie year.
It was very awesome to be at the championship and watch them recieve the HOF… as we say here “chicken skin” moment.
The Tiki Techs are in fact a startup due to their outreach efforts and gracious nature bringing us out to their school to get us “hooked”.
Thanks again Glenn for all your efforts statewide for FIRST…
That being said…
Hawaiin Kids (359) Waialua - Chairmans (5+HOF) in 2003-2008-2009-2010-2011 & HOF awarded - if they submit again.
Team Magma (3008) Kalani - Chairmans (3) in 2010-2012-2015
Kika Mana (368) McKinley - Chairmans (1) in 2005
Tiki Techs (3880) Kealakehe - Chairmans (1) in 2013
I believe that is the list of Hawaii teams that have previously earned a Chairman’s Award.
If I missed anyone, sorry, still catching up on sleep and family time.
See you at Orlando & Hawaii Regionals!
Aloha
Side note… We try every year and will continue for the Chairman’s Award, it is so worth the effort!
We do have a few EI’s through the process of Chairmans Award submissions, always submit…
In California I would have add 1868 for sure.
I honestly just added 1519 to the main list because I think you guys deserve a lot more recognition than you’ve gotten.
I would like to jump in here. FRC Team 2337 has been instrumental in our ability to win RCA two years in a row. If it wasn’t for their inspiration and organization, I don’t know where we would be today. I spoke to this specifically in their 2013 Chairmans Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WEZ342uE9k&list=PLw_-zRz0suesWcVeoe7Bu2-DwxEHoC5O6&index=2
I am honored to be a part of the Enginerd Family. I wear my 2337 Sweatshirt with pride and will always support their program. Julia is right when she talks about their commitment to help other FIRST Teams. I feel this is one of the most overlooked teams last year.
Some rising star teams in Michigan to look out for are the following:
Note: All teams who are not listed in no particular order
107 - TEAM Robotics
5114 - Titanium Tigers
5084 - Fridgebot
1506 - Metal Muscle
862 - Lightning Robotics
469 - Las Guerillas
573 - Mech Warriors
4967 - That One Team
1718 - The Fighting Pi
245 - The Adambots
226 - The Hammerheads
2834 - Bionic Blackhawks
2604 - Metal and Soul
(There are many many more and I apologize if I missed your team. You are in *FIRST *so you are already AWESOME)
These teams automatically stand out to me as teams with just a couple minor tweaks could be competing for a CCA.
I am honored to compete against these teams. They keep us on our toes every year to make sure we are continuing to be competitive. Every year, we know we gotta bring our A- Game
Oh and also a few Hall of Fame teams. :rolleyes:
Agreed. The reason I only put 1868 is they were the one team I could think of off the top of my head. Also, I meant to add to previous poster’s lists for California.
Well thanks.
