[FRC Blog] A Trophy To Call My Own
 

Posted on the FRC Blog, 5/8/14: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...To-Call-My-Own

Well, they got the 'bumper league' part right ;). Well deserved, Frank. Thanks for all you've done for FRC thus far, and in the years to come :D.

We need to raise Frank's Banner count.

Not listed on TBA, so I don't believe it.

Re: [FRC Blog] A Trophy To Call My Own
 

Well, Frank's CoRNDOG (Count of Recognitions Now Divvied Out Gradient) is now 1 (1 trophy over 1 year).

Bowling has lanes. Pools have lanes. WATER GAME!!!!!1

Re: [FRC Blog] A Trophy To Call My Own
 

So Frank was a #7 seed in 2003 (Stack Attack), and he had bumpers even though they were not required? :rolleyes:

Wildstang should have picked him!

Re: [FRC Blog] A Trophy To Call My Own
 

So now how many teams are going to make a trophy with Frank's name on it, so they can award it to Frank if he happens to attend one of their events next season?

Re: [FRC Blog] A Trophy To Call My Own
 

Wait, what team was Frank with? Is this supposed to be a hint to what team he was with? (Obviously, they are trying to keep us satisfied until they release a game hint.) :p

Psssh, not me

*closes tab of trophy-ordering site*

In all seriousness, IIRC he stated in the Gamesense AMA chat that he, aside from FLL coaching, he was invovled with Team 131

Re: [FRC Blog] A Trophy To Call My Own
 

One can only dream this somehow means lightened bumper rules next year. :rolleyes: Regardless, it's great to see Frank recognized with an actual award. This man has done so much in a short amount of time.

Re: [FRC Blog] A Trophy To Call My Own
 

I heard a rumor that he got 7th place out of 6 competitors. :p
(C'mon, they coudn't find a trophy newer than 2003? Sheesh)


Anyway: I'd give Frank a trophy any day, but if he really wants one he has to do something to earn it. I am not a big fan of 'trophies for everyone'.

How many food-acronym statistics can FRC spawn?

Re: [FRC Blog] A Trophy To Call My Own
 

I demand more CoRNDOGs for Frank.

Re: [FRC Blog] A Trophy To Call My Own
 

I demand a banana for scale.

(Seriously, if Frank shows up to the CAGE Match*, we'll give him a better trophy)

*Third Saturday in October.
Southport High School
971 E Banta Road
Indianapolis, IN 46227**

**Call before you come so we know to make the trophy :]

Re: [FRC Blog] A Trophy To Call My Own
 

Which would take longer, setting a up crowd fund to get Frank a real trophy or meeting the goal of the crowd fund?

Re: [FRC Blog] A Trophy To Call My Own
 

Any trophy for Frank would have to be HUGE to demonstrate his impact on FRC and TRANSPARENT to demonstrate his track record of engaging with the community.

A large 3d acrylic CoRNDOG?

Re: [FRC Blog] A Trophy To Call My Own
 

Frank's next trophy should be a Golden Corndog. The Cheesy Poofs should design and fabricate it -- Jared is a corndog expert. Surely it can be crowd funded.

Re: [FRC Blog] A Trophy To Call My Own
 

Fun fact: This bowling alley on the East side of town is strictly candlepin. such New England.

Re: [FRC Blog] A Trophy To Call My Own
 

Fascinating... Never heard of candle pin bowling before

Re: [FRC Blog] A Trophy To Call My Own
 

You mean how many Edible Data Analysis Metrics and Aggregated Measurable Entities (EDAMAME)?

Re: [FRC Blog] A Trophy To Call My Own
 

Participation trophy?

Re: [FRC Blog] A Trophy To Call My Own
 

Has anyone ever tried to "pitch" a ball at the candlepins?

Re: [FRC Blog] A Trophy To Call My Own
 

I think they'd throw you out of the place. With prejudice.

Gotta roll it, just like regular bowling.

Re: [FRC Blog] A Trophy To Call My Own
 

but then I never break a hundred. Those pins are hard to hit!
