FIRST Awards

[shyra1353]

I was wondering if anyone had a link to a list of all of the awards that FIRST presents at each regional, how many teams win each award per regional, and what the team has to do to win the award.

If anyone can help me with this .. that would be great ...

thank you

THIS is the FIRST documentation for awards for last year. There might be more added this year(??)

I know a few awards have been added for the season, but I can't recall all of them or find the list...

There are a few new rookie team awards, as well as the Woody Flowers award at regional levels.

If you do some easy research you could've found the new rookie awards at the Championship Event Eligibility page. I encourage all of you to look around for answers before asking or answering questions. Anyway, on top of what Elgin posted, here is the new rookie awards:


"This coming year FIRST will change the rookie awards to include a Rookie Inspiration Award for outstanding effort as a FIRST team in community outreach and recruiting students to engineering, a Highest Rookie Seed Award and the Rookie All-Star Award which recognizes overall excellence and success in building a quality robot and a sustainable team of Chairman's Award caliber. This last award will qualify rookies to attend the Championship. As announced on September 26th, rookies will not be eligible for the Chairman's Award since that award recognizes sustained excellence over several years. Rookies are, however, encouraged to develop a Chairman's Award submission which will be used as a criteria to judge the Rookie All-Star Award. This submission will document where your team started its FIRST journey and provide background for documenting the results of your team's efforts. Teams applying for NASA grants should be aware that a copy of this submission must be provided to NASA as part of the grant."
