Re: 2012 Awards/Trophies

Is there any rule that says the districts can't give out their own amazing trophies? Some of the best trophies I've seen in FIRST have been at off-season events. I'm thinking you could really have some fun with this.

Re: 2012 Awards/Trophies

I wonder how open FIRST is to award designs by other companies. We have made some of the coolest awards for off-seasons and Lego. I wonder if they would take a look at an award design that TPD comes up with. I better get to the drawing board!

Re: 2012 Awards/Trophies

We have already had two out of our four Winner Trophies crack in exactly the same spot in two separate weeks. Obviously some design flaw.
Since we plan to give the intact trophies to our sponsors, this leaves the team with two cracked trophies as lasting momentos. Not cool.

I know of no rule that prevents this and have actually suggested it directly to several FiM board members.

Re: 2012 Awards/Trophies

Ok so here is a question, if you win at districts and get "these" trophies, could you order the "traditional" ones from FIRST like you could to add to or replace broken one's in years past?

Re: 2012 Awards/Trophies

I like the old ones, and they did indeed give out the nice old heavy kind at normal regional events. Also, the medals we got for our EI award are exceedingly nice. I hope FIRST doesn't skimp on stuff like this in the future.

When it comes to the point that the teams have to buy a decient trophy, they may as well keep the entry fee and buy a real good one.

Re: 2012 Awards/Trophies

These look super chintzy.

Just when you thought FIRST couldn't possibly make the trophies smaller or further devalue the recognition of winning an event they find a way to do it.

Re: 2012 Awards/Trophies

To be diplomatic: With the resources and creativity available to teams, I believe there is room for improvement in future seasons.

Other threads have thrown out ideas people have had before, but the first post here has given us a nice, concrete cost target. If we as FIRSTers can create something more visually impressive on roughly the same budget, surely the fine folks in Manchester would be receptive...

Re: 2012 Awards/Trophies

Wouldn't be too hard to do a spin off one of our earlier award models.

Re: 2012 Awards/Trophies

Frankly, I rather liked the design. Granted I have no idea what the old ones looked like. Nice, simple, and industrial. My assumption (due to the talk of pillars that fall off) is the old ones were the big gawdy trophies that every competition ever uses (I have a friend who races 4-wheelers, he has a gigantic pile of the things which you seem to get for showing up with pants).

I big gawdy trophy doesn't make the achievement any greater, the things are all cheap and mass produced anyway. If you want to give one to a sponsor, you can likely have one made for 20$ (just making up figures) that they could put on display and put their name on it to boot, or you could give one you have for a desk ornament.

These could be better, but I much prefer them to the generic trophy style that all sports seem to give out.

Take a search and you'll see the other awards that they hand out are nothing like any other sport. The search feature is a really nice thing to have if used properly.
