A Trophy To Call My Own

Blog Date: Thursday, May 8, 2014 - 08:49

Last night, the FRC Staff got together for a little season-end celebration. I was deeply moved when the staff presented me with my very own trophy:



Thanks, guys!

Frank

Well, they got the 'bumper league' part right . Well deserved, Frank. Thanks for all you've done for FRC thus far, and in the years to come .

[Conor Ryan]

We need to raise Frank's Banner count.

Not listed on TBA, so I don't believe it.

Well, Frank's CoRNDOG (Count of Recognitions Now Divvied Out Gradient) is now 1 (1 trophy over 1 year).

[Andrew Schreiber]

Bowling has lanes. Pools have lanes. WATER GAME!!!!!1

[Richard Wallace]

So Frank was a #7 seed in 2003 (Stack Attack), and he had bumpers even though they were not required?

Wildstang should have picked him!

[GaryVoshol]

So now how many teams are going to make a trophy with Frank's name on it, so they can award it to Frank if he happens to attend one of their events next season?

[Electronica1]

Wait, what team was Frank with? Is this supposed to be a hint to what team he was with? (Obviously, they are trying to keep us satisfied until they release a game hint.)

In all seriousness, IIRC he stated in the Gamesense AMA chat that he, aside from FLL coaching, he was invovled with Team 131

One can only dream this somehow means lightened bumper rules next year. Regardless, it's great to see Frank recognized with an actual award. This man has done so much in a short amount of time.

[DonRotolo]

I heard a rumor that he got 7th place out of 6 competitors.
(C'mon, they coudn't find a trophy newer than 2003? Sheesh)


Anyway: I'd give Frank a trophy any day, but if he really wants one he has to do something to earn it. I am not a big fan of 'trophies for everyone'.

How many food-acronym statistics can FRC spawn?

I demand more CoRNDOGs for Frank.

[Taylor]

I demand a banana for scale.

(Seriously, if Frank shows up to the CAGE Match*, we'll give him a better trophy)

*Third Saturday in October.
Southport High School

Indianapolis, IN 46227**

**Call before you come so we know to make the trophy

Which would take longer, setting a up crowd fund to get Frank a real trophy or meeting the goal of the crowd fund?
