Re: should there be a award for programming skill?
They already have one. Rockwell Automation Innovation in Control Award. It covers at least the last two parts. OK, so you could add a code section--but there are at least 2 available languages, and each has at least 2-3 different methods of doing the same thing, and every programmer (or programming team) is going to have a slightly different style of doing it. I wouldn't want to judge that one. The FLL one is hard enough! (One language, maybe 2, and there aren't a whole lot of possible variations.)
