In FIRST, there are many different awards that can be won. First and foremost, at each regional and the national competition, awards are given out to the teams who place, with the usual first place getting a gold medal, second getting a silver, etc. There are also many other awards, such as the Rookie All-Star Award (given to the highest placing team that is in its first season), the Website Design Award (given to the team whose website fits various criteria the best as determined by a committee), the Daimler Chrysler Team Spirit Award (for the team that cheers the best and generally shows the spirit of FIRST), and the Leadership in Control Award (awarded to the team which has superior programming of their robot). The most prestigious award in FIRST (considered even more prestigious than winning a competition) is the Chairman’s Award. This award is given to teams based on a submitted document by the team that shows how their team best embodies the spirit of FIRST.
