It would be manageable to have teams submit CAD trophy designs before competition season, say in February like Chairman's and Woodie Flowers submissions, but a trend in this thread seems to be saving FIRST money. Am I not correct in saying that manufacturing many different models of trophies and medals would cost more than manufacturing the one standard award style?
