Engineering Awards Quinfecta

At the LA regional this year, 330 won the Leadership in Control Award for the first time in team history. We've now won at least one of each of the 5 technical awards (Creativity, Engineering Excellence, Industrial Design, Leadership in Control, Quality) This made me want to look at how many other teams have won at least one of each. I used Team 358's award database

Through the end of the 2013 season, there are 35 teams that have completed the Engineering Awards Quinfecta.

Re: Engineering Awards Quinfecta

Is the Excellence in Engineering Award equivalent to Delphi's other awards they offered in the past (Driving Tomorrow's Technology, for instance)?

Yes. Here is the description from the 2002 manual of the Delphi Driving Tommorow's Technology award

Quote:

“Driving Tomorrow’s Technology”
This award celebrates an elegant and advantageous machine feature. This award recognizes any aspect of engineering elegance including, but not limited to: design, wiring methods, material selection, programming techniques, and unique machine attributes. The criteria for this award are based on the team’s ability to concisely verbally describe, as well as demonstrate, this chosen machine feature.

Compared to 2014:

Excellence in Engineering Sponsored by Delphi
Celebrates an elegant and advantageous machine feature.

Re: Engineering Awards Quinfecta

It looks like Team 696 is missing the creativity award. We still need to win that award to get the Quinfecta.

Re: Engineering Awards Quinfecta

Hi Joe,

We got our first Industrial Design award at Gull Lake this year so by my research we have all five now but the one I am most proud of is the Engineering Excelence award we got in 2011 at Champs. The same year we met the BeachBots and were alliance partners in Archimedes.

Good Luck and I hope to see you guys in St Louis again!!

Re: Engineering Awards Quinfecta

Hey Joe,

Your friend Dave decided that we had to be on that list. So.. with my ancient memory and Dave's persistence we managed to find the trophies in our lab to make the quinfecta.

Until this year we were short a Quality award. So with that win, it looks like Team 294 gets to join the elite quinfecta list.

Awesome!

Re: Engineering Awards Quinfecta

308 joined the club this year! We won Engineering Excellence at Howell in Week 3 this year. Previously we won Creativity in '03 & '06, Imagery in '09, Industrial Design in '01, Leadership in Controls in '00 (x2) and '11, and Quality in '10 & '12.

Re: Engineering Awards Quinfecta

Joe,
Team Tators 2122 was honored to receive the Innovation in Control award at Utah in week 3, thus completing the quinfecta.

Re: Engineering Awards Quinfecta

1058 got up to four of the 5 this year. We have won Innovation in Control, Creativity, Quality and Excellence in Engineering.

Apparently we aren't very "Creative". Can we get someone from 190 to advise us on creativity? :)

Never thought about the Engineering Awards Quinfecta, now I want to join the club.

Adam, when most of us look at your robots, we aren't thinking, "How Creative!"

What we are thinking is more like, "Holy Crap!"

Wonder what that trophy would look like?:ahh:

Re: Engineering Awards Quinfecta

I like the idea of this being an annual thread! Looks like we still need to get creativity. It's a cool club to almost be a part of.

It would not be PC if I designed it, but I have had that feeling upon seeing some of the HOF team robots. Also frequently have "Why didn't we think of that" effect at events. I am a fan of "deceptively simple" designs which I believe are not so simple to engineer but make the most robust robots.

Re: Engineering Awards Quinfecta

Very cool thread Joe!

It looks like 1678 has joined the Quinfecta Club this year! With the Creativity Award at Inland Empire and the Engineering Excellence Award at Sacramento, we now have exactly one of each of the Engineering Awards Quinfecta!

Also, interesting point, each one of our 5 Engineering Awards is associated with one of our 5 Regional Wins in 1678's history.
