Re: Does FIRST give out too many awards? (Opinion)

Even a every year possible pin, I don't like. The problem with that is once again for the people that shied away for a year or did a year then came back after taking a year off. These members might be some of the most vital on a team (like team captain...). I like the medals, so even if for whatever reason you only do robotics one year you get a piece of hardware. Sure you will still have pictures and other items, but at least its something from FIRST.

For putting countless and sleepless nights into building a robot, and spending strenuous days on the greatest competition I've experienced when the other guy gets the same medal for coming into the shop every other week for an hour and goes around in the pits looking for give-aways
There is no way for FIRST to know how much or little each individual puts in, this seems more of a should teams give out individual awards item, since the other members of the team would know who deserves recognition for the their efforts.
