Re: pic: IRI winner's trophy
That is by far the best trophy I have ever seen, I think it even beats that other soccer trophy which will not be named...

Re: pic: IRI winner's trophy
Great idea for a trophy. Well done, too.
|
Re: pic: IRI winner's trophy
Should the winners be careful of any rubber feet on the bottom?
Very nice! |
Re: pic: IRI winner's trophy
GoooooaaaaaaaLLLLL!
I can't wait to see it in person. |
Re: pic: IRI winner's trophy
Mark Koors is amazing.

Re: pic: IRI winner's trophy
Ooo. That's pretty, very pretty. Great design, Mark.
I'd be scared of breaking it, though D: |
Re: pic: IRI winner's trophy
I wouldn't mind seeing a pic of the inside, and what all those screws attach to.

All that being said, the webbing might be constructed differently than the perfect dual graph to allow for easier assembly and construction. Alas, what is perfect and elegant in the mathematical world, rarely works in the real world. 1. In graph theory, a dual graph of a given graph G is a graph which has a vertex for each plane region of G, and an edge for each edge in G joining two neighboring regions. This theory can be extending into 3D polyhedra geometry. |

Karthik, please sit with me at IRI and explain what all of this means. I assume it is Canadian for "soccer ball"? :) |

(Actually, I am wishing that the prof who was most familiar with graph theory wasn't off campus at the moment, I'm very curious too) |

Re: pic: IRI winner's trophy
After ignoring much of the silliness of what was posted above, we just took a picture of the ball without the blue glass pieces.
The inside structure is made from 2 polycarbonate hemispheres, each 1/16" thick. Andy B. (edit... on second thought, I could post something similar to Karthik's convoluted solution and said that we used some 7-axis CNC welding process to do this. But, I didn't. :) ) |

Anyways, here's a picture I found on the web that illustrates what I was talking about with the dual. (Found on a combinatorial geometry course website at Merrimack College) ![]() Clearly too complicated to fabricate, but still pretty cool. (Or just general ignorable silliness. :) ) |

And... I followed some of it so I know that people who understand/grasp math concepts much better than I do would appreciate it with a greater and deeper understanding. Jane |

Re: pic: IRI winner's trophy
I just have to ask...are there any pieces that can fall off during the presentations? :o

Seriously, these are inherently fragile, since they are made of glass. So, it is possible for them to break. We are packing these up today, and each one will have it's own box and packing material so teams can have a bit of help being careful with them. The anodized base plates just came in, and they look outstanding. Also, the medallions look great. I will post pics on the AM facebook page soon. Andy |
Re: pic: IRI winner's trophy
Here is a new picture of the trophy, with the name plate.
Also, here is a picture of the medallion that will be given out to individual award winners at IRI. Thanks to Dave and Mike Hancock at Colors, Inc. for making the graphics look so great on these awards. Andy B. |

Hmmm... at this point I was going to add my own "soccer-head" hat photo, but it appears one can't attach photos to this thread. Which makes my request a little unpromising: Andy, could you post those other photos someplace other than Facebook? Some of us don't wish to connect to the world that way. The awards do look good. Maybe with interior LEDs to make them sparkle? |
