Congrats 5817 saw you win it twice in person , now fix that "swerve drive breaking at worst possible time" issue for Worlds

Also congrats to 2485 for winning the Engineering award twice as well.

Good luck to all the great teams from SD,CV and OC going to worlds!

In the IN District, we have 2 rookie teams. Both attended the same 2 events and 6012 won both Rookie AS. So I believe 6012 is the only one eligible team to compete for this award at INDCMPS. So they'll have 2 district Rookie AS awards and one DCMPS (or Regional) Rookie AS. (Correct me if I'm wrong on the DCMPS part )

We recieved the RAS at Colorado and Hub City in 2013.

Thankfully the swerve drive issues were fixed at this event. And I am happy to report we did not have a single swerve module fail on us.

Congrats to 5817! Can't wait to see you guys at champs!

You can add Wave Robotics to that list all the way back in 2009!

Why is Rookie All-Star different from Chairmans, which can only be won once at a regional level per year? (I'm assuming this is from the old rule that teams could only present for Chairmans at one event?).

We could also add EI to that list as well.

Team 4543 The Illuminators from Apollo High School San Jose won RAS/Rookie High Seed at Central Valley and Silicon Valley in 2013.

Last 3 of 4 competitions we have made the semi's as Alliance Captains.
Won the Judge's award at Davis in 2014, 2015

Since Apollo is a continuation school every year we have a whole new team.

Yeah this kind of irks me a bit too... Not to second guess a judges job, but spread the love a bit! Especially for a rookie award...

This is not at all meant to take away from the great job 5817 has done and they deserve to be at champs... but now one less rookie team will be there.

It seems like the wildcard generated from winning RAS twice should go to a rookie, but I don't know how you would decide which one. It would be easier to just limit it to one win per year, spread the wealth.
