Yes, this is clearly too complicated to fabricate. Or is it? Well, it's somewhat like Karthik's ball.

(see ya soon, Karthik - safe travels!)

And... I followed some of it so I know that people who understand/grasp math concepts much better than I do would appreciate it with a greater and deeper understanding.

I can't agree more. That post was pretty awesome even though I got very confused. Thanks for the information Karthik.

I just have to ask...are there any pieces that can fall off during the presentations?

This year's trophies have a special feature: the bottoms stay on.

Seriously, these are inherently fragile, since they are made of glass. So, it is possible for them to break. We are packing these up today, and each one will have it's own box and packing material so teams can have a bit of help being careful with them.

The anodized base plates just came in, and they look outstanding. Also, the medallions look great. I will post pics on the AM facebook page soon.

Here is a new picture of the trophy, with the name plate.

Also, here is a picture of the medallion that will be given out to individual award winners at IRI.

Thanks to Dave and Mike Hancock at Colors, Inc. for making the graphics look so great on these awards.

It's always easy when you know how.

Hmmm... at this point I was going to add my own "soccer-head" hat photo, but it appears one can't attach photos to this thread. Which makes my request a little unpromising: Andy, could you post those other photos someplace other than Facebook? Some of us don't wish to connect to the world that way.

The awards do look good. Maybe with interior LEDs to make them sparkle?
