*Raises Hand*

Team RUSH is hoping for a slightly better run than last year, which shouldn't be too hard considering we lost every qualification match.

Best of luck to all the teams going, and I can't wait for these next seven days to pass!

Thanks!!

This trophy was made by AndyMark, Inc. The design concept was made by TechnoKats students (FRC team 45) in coordination with AndyMark staff. Nick Boyce and I did the detailed design.

There are 29 other trophies just like it, except that the runner-up trophies are red anodized and the rest are gold anodized.

The anodization was done at Colors, Inc. in Indianapolis. One of the managers at Colors, Inc. will be a judge at IRI.

[jokingly] Too bad my team isn't going, one of those trophies would look pretty good in our trophy case

This trophy violates the "no metal on carpet" rule.

That being said - who cares!

Awesome design!

Might I ask if alliance captain representatives will have anything special given to them to commemorate the honor in 2008, like ye old bucket hats of 2007?

we thought we would just put a tie strap around one of the trophies, and let them wear it on their heads....

or, maybe something like a bucket hat ....

That is amazing. But I just gotta know, who is sallie?

just wondering, what do the scholarships entail?
