Sorry, I'll leave.

WELL SAID FOR SURE!!!!

2) the use of trophies / awards / recognitions, etc as weapons.

Consider the of the theory of Sun Tzu, The Art of War, applied to cultural change goals of FIRST. Awards creates energy (chapter V) and and builds substance (chapter VI).

The 1st award we ever won was a heady experience but not really put to good use for a while. The 2nd through the nth award has been loaded into a "cultural change artillery piece" and put into action. We have been able to create a loud echo of student impact ranging across the region.

Impact is great, collecting awards is okie dokie, but using awards to leverage cultural change and a lot more impact is even better.

Getting the award is only half the battle, what you do with it is really important.

IMHO

You took my comment out of context. Awards are great and they have a lot of uses for outreach (said as I just got back from one of said cultural outreach events in which we leveraged a few of our shinies to catch attention). What I was remarking on was the inference that 188's streak breaking was the biggest downside to them not competing this year not awards in general. To set the record straight, I like shiny awards!

The streak ends... :(

I actually was completely unaware of this happening... I'm always so saddened when a team that I follow happens to disappear from FIRST. Especially such a low number, the Canadian regionals just won't be the same without them.

Re: Award winning year streaks

This year when it was announced that the Niles (MI) district event was being renamed and moved a bit north to St Joseph, I realized our team won the Niles event the only two times it was being held. Solidifying us as undefeated at Niles :)

I have no doubt at all that 188 will still be present this year in the form of event volunteers, and I am also certain that 188 will return for the 2014 FRC season. It is still a shame that they had their 2013 season scrapped by political unrest where students clearly got the shortest end of the stick.

Re: Award winning year streaks

The Spikes' winning streak grew a year older yesterday, when we won Gracious Professionalism by Johnson & Johnson in the Israeli regional, for the 4th time, and for the third year in a row! (2009,2011,2012,2013)

We are happy that our streak is still alive, ever since the team was started back in 2007.

What is the longest GP win you know of?
