...As you can see, they can be as complicated, or as simply put as you want.
Just something that puts a personal touch on the competition, and gives teams something to display to sponsors/supporters/their schoosl/ etc. etc.
We were thinking of making trophy's of extra parts we had one of our sponsors laser cut for us this past year, but it never happened cause we ran out of time.
Be resourceful with what you have available in your shop.
A trophy making meeting can also bring together your team as much as a robot building meeting. Just think of it as a team building excercise before you hit that "order" button on the website with the ready made cups, or pens.  |
For 2006, a trophy might have been our prize poof ball. Our team had this really cool poof ball that had about a twelfth of its total volume ripped out during a demonstration. In one chunk. Somehow the rest of the ball was fine... Does this count as a trophy?
