What Awards would you like to see?

If you could add new awards to FIRST at any level, what would they be?

I for one would like to possibly see some field awards brought back. I mean other than tournament winner and finalist, there are no awards for what is done on the field. I know there used to be some but i don't know what sorts of awards there should be. I just wish there was a little more focus on the field and actual application of the robot instead of theoretical things in the pit, i don't mean to sound demeaning, and someone please let me know if i am, but I have seen on more than one occasion an award given to a robot for features that do not work, or didn't do that well on the field. Maybe i am incorrect and the judges are paying attention to the field more than i think they are


anyone have any input on this?
