Alright, I've been fiddling with it a bit--here's my list of awards, in rank order (by the FIRST press release after the championship):

National Chairman's Award
National Champion
National Finalist
Divison Champion
Division Finalist
Engineering Inspiration Award
Autodesk Visualization Award
Autodesk Inventor Award
Autodesk Rising Star Award
DaimlerChrysler Team Spirit Award
Delphi "Driving Tomorrow's Technology" Award
GM Industrial Design Award
Johnson & Johnson Sportsmanship Award
Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers Entrepreneurship Award
Motorola Quality Award
Xerox Creativity Award
Rookie Inspiration Award
Rookie All Star Award
Top Seed
Top Rookie Seed
Judges' Award

(All of the above awards except for Division Finalist then repeat themselves on the regional level, with name changes to fit as needed.)

Longevity Award
Woodie Flowers Award
10-Year Volunteer
5-Year Volunteer
3-Year Volunteer
1-Year Volunteer


Have I missed any awards that FIRST gives? Basically, I went Championship awards, then regional awards, then individual awards. Yes, I know that the Woodie Flowers Award is a very high honor, but this was the only place I could think of putting it. I guess that can be banged out later.

The longevity award is my own creation, awarded for competing in a FIRST season. Its purpose is twofold: first, anyone who makes it through a build season deserves an award, and second, to provide an easy way of knowing a team's age.

The only issue I have about using DoD ribbons is that they're uniform items. And one of the biggest no-nos in ROTC is mixing uniform and civilian items. I mean, if the Pentagon came out with an announcement authorizing their use, then I'd be fine with it. But until then, the rules is the rules.
