Award winners forgotten?

I couldn't attend Nationals this year so I've been trying to find out results on the web. I've gone to the FIRST site, NASA's site, and now the chiefdelphi forums and can only find who won the competition. Not to take anything away from the newly crowned champions, but I'm disappointed that no one's asking or telling about the rest of the award winners.

This focus on the competition rankings seems to me not quite in keeping with the FIRST ideals. And I'm not picking on this Forum. FIRST provides up to the minute competition results, but if previous year's are any indication it will take them a month to post the award winners. NASA let's you see almost any match you want, but they weren't even web-casting the awards (that I could find).

Whatever happened to the idea that the Chairman's Award is truly the top honor? What about the teams that never made it to the eliminations but had such great robot features or spirit or sportsmanship or dramatic play that they were singled out as the best of the best during the awards ceremony. What about the Woodie Flower's Award winner? Don't these people and teams deserve the lime-light?

So I'm asking the great FIRST collective: what people / teams won what awards at Nationals? Please join me in extending a heart-felt congratulations to them all!

Well, my team, #357 won the "Delphi's Technology of Tomorrow Award" or something around that... I forget who won the animation award, but it was really good.

NASA TV (Webcast) most of the Award Ceremony, but I had other committments that kept me from seeing most of it. I did see the RoboDAWGS (Team 288) pick up the Entrepreneurship Award.

Be Patient..

Most of the FIRST staff is still down in Florida or on their way back, as none of their flights left until this morning(Monday). The awards page most likely needs to be hand-generated, and after the past three 14+ hour days on site for the event(we all got there an hour before the pits opened, and usually stayed close to an hour after), they're taking a few days off...

Chairman's Award

Buzz Team #175 won the national chairman's award. The major focus of thier presentation was the Tinker Toy league they started for third grade students in their school district. They had a remote controlled vehicle made out giant tinker toy pieces they made. It was a real eye catcher. It got my attention. I ended up talking to them for 20 minutes about the league.

Nate, I appreciate your perspective and I certainly understand the need for some time off for the staff (and the teams), but I'd think if FIRST has found a way to post match results within minutes they could find a way to do the same with the award results. That the champions are easily found and the Chairman's Award winner impossible seem at odds with FIRST's message that the Chairman's Award is the highest honor a team can win.

Actually when we were heading back on Sunday around 9 or 10am, Woodie was online for Check in at the Airport!!! It was SOOO COOL! Cause WOODIE'S THE MAN!!! and we saw one of the members of Survivor III Africa. Crazy stuff man, Crazy stuff! Heh, I should have met up with you, we were in Newton and you could have always changed that one DQ to a winning match, which would have put us in top seed! hehe, Great job to the FIRST guys ( and ladies) it was awesome!!

They will do it eventually.

Did you notice how fast the Einstein stage got torn down after the final match? All the computers, especially those that run the Scoring database, were all torn down in minutes. Also the master server back in the Inet tent was being disconnected.

This year and prior, the database FTP'd static files for match results and seeding. We have suggested plans for improvement- mainly dealing with live inserts of the award winners, or better? yet pushing the award winner records to a real-time server and time-releasing the data. This way the results can be pushed before the massive tear-down, yet later that night, say 9pm, all the award winners can be seen on a website, paged to your celphone, queryable via ODBC, or whatever....
