FIRST Ribbons?
Alright, I've done ROTC for four years. If you didn't know, we've got ribbons. If you meet certain criteria, you get one, such as Outstanding Flight, Leadership, Good Conduct, et cetera. When I graduate, I'll have nine (not counting repeat awards)
And I'm thinking--how hard would it be to adapt the concept to FIRST? I mean, right now we've got teams with all sorts of awards, too many to list in a concise manner. So if we had a ribbon system where X ribbon represents X award (and clusters, little things pinned onto the ribbon mean a repeat award), wouldn't it be easier for other teams to find out at a glance what the team (or individual--can't forget the WFA folks) has done?
Even if they don't become physical ribbons that are pinned on (not that anyone would have a problem with that--we've got enough holes in our shirts from buttons as it stands), I figure that a team's ribbon bar could be printed and placed on the robot/pit space/et cetera quite easily.
Thoughts?

Meanwhile, it's water over the dam, spilled milk, etc. Let's drop the subject and get on with life. I am seeing people warming up their lawyerism, which is not a good thing when we are coming up on build season. - EricH [more]
