Apparently we aren't very "Creative". Can we get someone from 190 to advise us on creativity?

Never thought about the Engineering Awards Quinfecta, now I want to join the club.

Adam, when most of us look at your robots, we aren't thinking, "How Creative!"

What we are thinking is more like, "Holy Crap!"

Wonder what that trophy would look like?

I like the idea of this being an annual thread! Looks like we still need to get creativity. It's a cool club to almost be a part of.

It would not be PC if I designed it, but I have had that feeling upon seeing some of the HOF team robots. Also frequently have "Why didn't we think of that" effect at events. I am a fan of "deceptively simple" designs which I believe are not so simple to engineer but make the most robust robots.

Very cool thread Joe!

It looks like 1678 has joined the Quinfecta Club this year! With the Creativity Award at Inland Empire and the Engineering Excellence Award at Sacramento, we now have exactly one of each of the Engineering Awards Quinfecta!

Also, interesting point, each one of our 5 Engineering Awards is associated with one of our 5 Regional Wins in 1678's history.
