I don't recall it ever having a banner.

I think there may have been a banner prior to 2007. And is it really still a trip to the Championship. I thought only Regional winners, Chairman's, and Rookie All-star got qualified?

There hasn't been a banner for Engineering Inspiration since 2004, possibly earlier.

As for what qualifies for the Championship, FIRST has had it posted for some time.

I wanted to reiterate that this post doesnt imply that all we care about are medals/trophys, its just the thread topic for discussion as the trophies are smaller than in previous years.
After being in FIRST since 1999, its sort of like tradition, and I guess, sometimes its hard to see changes to something less, DUE to the economy.

Just for the record, I hardly think anyone does it most importantly for trophies. That aint worth it for the time, sweat and tears it takes to run such a program. I (speaking for our team) do it because #1 its FUN!!!!!!!:D

Nope no banner, 48 won it at GTR in '04 (my sophomore year) and I don't remember a banner. We are only in possession of a total of four banners, one of which was given to a coach when he stepped down, and none of them are from EI.

They used to include technical trophies worth points to get you to the Championship event back then too.

These awards still count for the same and if a sponsor has issues with the size of them then they may need educated as to what they stand for and not look for a shiny piece of polycarb.

Sure it's nice to bring home the hardware, but in four years when you come back from college and see your team, or FIRST in general are you going to remember the trophy or the emotional gambit that was covered during the season that got you there.

If they win the WFFA (Woodie Flowers Finalist Award at a Regional Event) they then have a chance to win the WFA (Woodie Flowers Award at The Championship Event) which is just slightly larger & would have their name put in the base as well!

I get the feeling it's expensive to reprint them every year as the sponsors change.

Didn't the regionals last year have two LCD panels flanking the main screen with sponsors appearing on them?

At San Diego they did, but only one at Davis for some reason:confused:
