pic: Motorola (not so) Quality Award

[Michelle Celio]

Our 2003 Florida Regional Motorola Quality Award suffered the same fate, we just glued it back together (or so I was told). Immediately after getting our 2007 Florida Regional Website Award, I was distinctly told by the mentor (like everyone else is saying) to hold it by the base. Of course, I didn't listen to him...it hasn't broken but I've gotten my middle finger stuck in between the triangle and the circle at least 5 times.

The FIRST logo got a change a while back. Maybe the awards are due for a change. Anyone like the Cal Games awards? I sure do. I like the elegance captured in the simplicity of FIRST trophies but next to sports trophies they are perhaps too simple.

Whenever our team wins an award, when we return to our seats we will pass the trophy around our team and you can always hear people yelling "Hold It By The Base!". I just thought they were over-paranoid... Apparently I was/am wrong..

The Cal Games awards are indeed beautiful. The thing I liked the most is the big lettering. When somebody sees a bunch of trophies, they don't stop to read each little plaque; they just begin counting quantity. The WRRF trophy hangs in our school office where everyone stops to read it.
As for a new trophy material, colored anodized aluminum would be nice.

That happened to us in 2005 at Atlanta both of our awards fell apart at some point but some glue and 15 minutes later it was all better, congratulations on winning the award.

Congratulations on winning the quality award!

One thing I suggest to do when fixing this is to not use super glue. When super glue dries it tends to leave a cloudy haze of glue around where it is applied. I learned about this the hard way when trying to fix one of our own trophies from 2005.
