The Chairman's Award keeps the focus of FIRST not on competiton or building a robot, but on FIRST members and their mission to spread the appreciation of science and technology in society. The Chairman's Award is given to a team that judges believe is an example to other FIRST teams, a team that embodies the vision of FIRST. This award is the most prestigious award that a team can receive. [1]
