Re: Regional Inventor award
In principle I agree that a regional Inventor award would be great. However, Autodesk, not FIRST, does most of the heavy lifting for AIA. Currently they receive and judge about 60 submissions and make the awards. If there were regional awards and more teams submitted, they could be looking at judging 100s and handing out 30 regional awards.

So, would the increased recognition of Inventor (and Autodesk) be worth the cost to them? If not, perhaps FIRST might create a regional design award - opening the competition up to all the Pro/E and Solidworks users, as well. Food for thought...
