Awards that teams give out

[Conor Ryan]

1547 gave a bunch of nice Wooden "W's" out at NJ this year. It's no Oscar but it's a piece of hardware.

1188 gave us a teamwork award at GLR this year
was very nice

[1359th Scalawag]

My team gives out awards at each regional. They're usually different each year. The usual awards. We make 'em out of pirate hats! If you were to ask which awards we've given out, I wouldn't be the person to ask. Not my job. But the one I do remember was for 1838 for cost effective robot. They had a box with a tarp over it in 2006 and we wouldn't have been 1st seed at the end of qualifying without thier help.

From other teams, during the years i've been on the team, we have recieved the following awards:
2006:
"Spirit" from The Cheesy Poofs *I think*
"Best Autonomous" from The WildCats *I think*
2007:
"Spirit" from PHRED.

I may have forgotten some... oh well...

[Gene Williams]

Well let's see...

Team 494 and Team 70 give out these Awards at every regional we attend.

Best Autonomous
Like a Rock Award
My Favorite Robot
Out of this World Award
Ram Tough Award
Technology Award
Best Value Award
Best Pit Award
Best Alliance Partner

Simple certificates in frames and hopefully they put a smile on your face

BTW..we have a school showcase and usually display all of these cool "peer to peer" awards for the year!

That's not the finished version cause the Team Fusion Logo came out too small but i think you get the idea

[MariaChristineK]

A major focus on our team is safety so we generally give out a few awards for teams with the safest pits! We'll be at the Buckeye Regional next so keep your pits clean!

Team 34 gives out some awards such as "Most Team Spirit", "Safest Team", and "Coolest T-Shirts". We also made up some new awards that are "Rack and Roll" themed.

On their website it says that the robot name is Raptor. I guess I'll find out later today.

549 gives out nice plaque awards homemade and we recieved the "best offensive robot" award. They were our neighbors in the pits and all around a good high spirited team. We exchanged alot of conversation with them and they made our weekend more fun and easier.

Yes, this year's robot is Raptor. Those were the awards we gave out last year. 971 is hoping to announce this year's winners on the field during/before the actual awards ceremony if possible.

Glad you liked the award. The buttons I saw were really cute. I also heard that you made our team members sing "I'm a little teapot" to get a button. Wish I had been there for that one!

BTW... A big thanks to 1102 at the Palmetto Regional for the "Most Kick A** Cart Award".

[Dan Zollman]

If I have time to produce the award, I think I might give out a "Strangest Appearance" award.
