Sure you will still have pictures and other items, but at least its something from FIRST.



There is no way for FIRST to know how much or little each individual puts in, this seems more of a should teams give out individual awards item, since the other members of the team would know who deserves recognition for the their efforts.
i agree.. cuz..what if your team didnlt win ANY awards, and that participation medal was all you had? wouldn't you fell like crap if your team puts in all those hours and not have ANYTHING to show ?
