Re: Awards given at off-season events

Quite a few of the off seasons I attended as a student had optional fun competitions for the robots as well as the regular matches... but it seems like many teams have backed away from running them.

Kudos to you if you come up with a fun challenge for teams!


Here are some of the ones I remember....

Duel on the Delaware:
I recall a "bin round-up" in '03 where we pasted pictures of cows to the steralite bins; and a "nano-surgery" challenge in '02 where robots had to "extract" the three goals from the "body" without knocking over/damaging any of the organs/obstacles.

Ramp Riot:
'01:Best end zone celebration competition

Championships 2003(TX):
Chariot Races (Robot pulling driver on robot cart)

As well as Mentors/Alumni matches (IRI and Baltimore Expo(?)) & Ladies only Matches (Brunswick Eruption)
