This season, for Quad Quidditch, we decided to have two awards. These awards are the following:

The Design Award : This award is design specific. The design is visually appealing, and contains some sense of practicality in designing. It demonstrates a large variety of techniques used in CADing.

The Strategy Award : This award encompasses both the written component and the design component. The robot displays a well thought out strategy, and proper documentation of the design process further displays this. The strategy is the most ideal/points worthy/useful out of all submissions.

And now, our winners.

The design award goes to 955. Their robot was a work of art, utilizing several mechanisms to cover a large variety of the possible tasks in the game. Their design can be seen as outside of the box, and a very modular robot in the sense of what it can do for their alliance (shooting at different areas, etc.)

The strategy award goes to 3481. Their design encompassed some of the key strategic points the GDC decided were the most important. They included a shooter and a snitch capturing mechanism in a very compact space, maintaining a low center of gravity.Their design can be seen as a sturdy and efficient robot, and demonstrated key strategic principles.

Thanks to those who participated, and congratulations to our winners.

(On an extra note, participants, individual feedback will be sent to your shortly.)

Will you (or the winners) share information about the winning submissions?
