Team 1006 has won the Imagery Award at the Canadian Regional (now known as the GTA Regional) two years in a row.

Pictures will probably serve as better examples of what the Imagery Award is for than words. Here are some examples:

In terms of cost, many of the materials are donated. We tend to do fairly well with sponsorships, and the uniforms themselves are donated by Choko Motorsports (http://www.choko.com); but some of the more creative and well-noticed things like the mascot and mascot on a stick, and face painting were relatively less expensive money-wise, but required a significant time investment.

Team 233 has won the imagery award a number of times including last year's UCF regional because we are PINK. We have pink robots, pink shirts, and in some cases, pink bodies. Last year our NASA techs came up with some exceptionally nice Screaming Fluorescent Hot PINK powder coat for our robot. There are other awards we would rather win, like quality awards, etc. but I think that we may be destined to win more than our share of imagery awards.
