Re: From Bill's Blog: Merits of replacing bronze participation medals
My main concern is that a pin will not recognize any sort of achievement. The 2007 FTC pin just kind of said "quad quandry" on it. The medal for FTC 2006 symbolized that I got through the program, and I'm personally as proud of it as the silver winning alliance medal and the FRC medals I have... the FTC 2007 pin is just kinda... "meh". You can't show that to anyone or really be proud of a 1 x 2 centimeter piece of metal.
I guess it's just nice to have a symbol for the feelings I'd already have about that season.
