Congrats Simbotics on this greatest achievement, you guys are an inspiration to the FRC community, thanks for all the resources that you guys provide, and for the motivation to aim for higher goal

I know this is stupid question, but why is the Chairmans Award trophy in the form of a clock? Is their a meaning behind it?

I'm sure there's a more official story but I know that Dean loves making clocks. When the DLWs visited his house we saw a clock that was half-completed lying around in his shop. Another Dean idiosyncrasy..

Congratulations once again to 1114! You guys have been an inspiration to all of FIRST for many years now.

I never get tired of looking at that thing.

Actually, we were kind of disappointed it didnt work and one of the brass gears fell off when they shipped it to us.
I swear we didnt break it.
Maybe they fixed it?

Looks easy enough to motorize... but maybe the lack of a powered motor is part of the beauty?
