Some awards that my team thought up:

Heather Award - Given to a robot that is fast, powerful, very robust, and just beats the ________ out of any other robot. (Award inspired by our 2003 robot Heather)

Professional Grade Award - This award celebrates an overall professional team. The winner of this award has developed a high quality robot in close relationship with professional mentors and sponsors. Every part of the robot has exceptional form and well planned function. The winner of this award has demonstrated organization within their team structure, and a well functioning bond between mentors and students. At competition, this team has demonstrated exceptional gracious professionalism toward others, and conducted themselves in a very professional manner among themselves and others. On the field, strategy is a main priority. Off the field, helping others while not letting themselves get behind is a constant balance of resources done effectively.
