We will be submitting for the Innovation in Control award

Re: Robots: Behind the Design Who is submitting?
 

I don't know if we'll have time to put together a submission.

Why not give us free food at competitions? Why not put $39 more in materials in the kit? Why not make Championship free?

There is nothing wrong with selling a book.

This book will provide publicity to more teams. Perhaps more teams will see the book than see the magazine, or this book will reach a different audience. It would be nice to have a section about our robot in a nice, hardcover book after we put so much work into the robot. Why not make a submission for the book AND write an article for a magazine?

We will be submitting for the GM Industrial Design Award.

Re: Robots: Behind the Design Who is submitting?
 

We're putting together a submission for our "sucker," which won the General Motors Industrial Design award. We've got about half of it done, and that’s on top of all the other stuff we're doing. Hopefully it will be done by tomorrow...

If it isn't done in time we'll just edit some things and put in our submission for the Motorola Quality Award - which we also won with the "sucker" :D

I believe Twain once said something about books winding up on shelves...
and magazines on the bottom of bird cages...

Does anyone know how to find out the resolution of an image? I'm using The GIMP if that helps any.

Re: Robots: Behind the Design Who is submitting?
 

I'm not sure if this is helpful, but if you go to Image -> Scale Image, it has X and Y resolutions. Other than that, I don't know.

Anyways, 418 plans to submit for their Innovation in Control Award at LSR. At least, I think that's the plan.

Re: Robots: Behind the Design Who is submitting?
 

That's the plan, you guys just have to get it done. :D

Re: Robots: Behind the Design Who is submitting?
 

Could somebody please post the links to the information for these submissions for THIS year-2007? (Not for the 2006 year).

Team 1629 finished their submission for the Innovation in Control Award after 4 hours the night before it was due.

Edit: The team information on FIRST's website has not been update for every team. If your team hasn't been bolded, and qualifies to be in the book again, send me a quick message, and I'll make the correction.

Re: Robots: Behind the Design Who is submitting?
 

190 qualified as well with the Motorola Quality Award.

Re: Robots: Behind the Design Who is submitting?
 

Oops! Sorry about that - I began checking for the awards by going through the team information supplied by FIRST (which doesn't list the award) and then halfway through began checking the data against 1114's scouting database, and must have missed it.

Re: Robots: Behind the Design Who is submitting?
 

Team 375 was eligible to submit last year, we didn't, however we are eligibible again this year, a few times over actually. We will be submitting under our Championship Delphi Driving Tomorrow's Technology award.

Re: Robots: Behind the Design Who is submitting?
 

We won the Motorola Quality Award at the Championship, so we'll be submitting an entry for that award as well.
