Re: Awards in the Offseason: What would you like to see?

I don't really remember off season events having spirit awards, possibly only Ramp Riot - and I'm not even sure if they do?
... with the addition of a spirit award, it would put the feel of a real competition completely on the event. Full intensity!

Blitz Awards List (so far):

Here's the latest list of awards that may be offered at the Blitz (the reasoning behind this thread ). Because I'm making these trophies at work in the middle of the night... I have to keep it to 15 awards. So if you have a good idea, one award must go. But please, feel free to crititisize:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

2004 Beantown Blitz: The Human Element

*2004 Beantown Blitz: Engineering Elegance
- This award celebrates an elegant and advantageous machine feature. This award recognizes any aspect of engineering elegance including, but not limited to: design, wiring methods, material selection, programming techniques, and/or unique machine attributes. The criteria for this award are based on the team’s ability to concisely verbally describe, as well as demonstrate, this chosen machine feature.

*2004 Beantown Blitz: Operation Inspiration
- This award celebrates a team’s outstanding success in advancing respect and appreciation for engineering and engineers, both within their school, as well as their community. Criteria include: the extent and inventiveness of the team’s efforts to recruit students to engineering, the extent and effectiveness of the team’s community outreach efforts, and the measurable success of those efforts.

*2004 Beantown Blitz: ‘Wicked Awesome’ Robot
- This is an award for the coolest robot. Not necessarily the most decorative robot, or the one that can do the most… just the one that makes people stop and say: "wow, now THAT'S A COOL ROBOT!"
