This totally sucks. I'd love to work with someone (or several someones) on a proposal for FIRST for a better set of trophies. Please send me an email to the address in my signature, and maybe a few of us can get the ball rolling on this.
Just as a quick side-note, I worked at FIRST HQ this summer as a Marketing intern, and I had -NO- idea the trophies were changing. Sometimes the different sub-groups and programs at FIRST seem so disconnected - so what I think we could do, as a group of concerned students, mentors, and volunteers, is write up our thoughts on the idea, as well as offer a few solutions - and send it both to FRC and Marketing staff. (After all, it kind of makes FIRST look bad to have such cheapo trophies.) And, like the request for transparency a few years ago, we can post here on CD when it is complete.
Who's with me? |
A.) I sure hope they use the traditional trophies for state champs
and
B.) I will TOTALLY work with you on this!
