Re: 2010 IRI Results and Awards

Quote:
I'm kind of disappointed that there weren't any engineering awards this year. Please bring them back.
What I'm about to suggest is either brilliant or horrible - Take your pick.

Anyone at any event can voluntarily decide to assess some aspect of the teams and machines, and recognize the people/person/team responsible for it.

Teams can vote. A panel of distinguished judges can roam around. Light meters can be used to determine which machine is the shiniest. ...

Maybe someone needs to start a tradition of awarding a "Peoples' Choice Engineering Award" that is given out informally; but is awarded through a process that is rigorous enough to make the award worth bragging about.

This could be done off-the-books so that the IRI folks don't have to add it to their list of chores.
