*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!

Re: pic: 2008 IRI Trophy - Who wants it?

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?

I would give up my 2008 Championship Finalist Medal for a 2008 IRI Championship Trophy.

Nice Work!

I bought the flags here, and then had a local print shop (Premier Printing, of Kokomo) put the logo on.

Best Lapper? Hopefully with the driver practice this weekend, 1646 will get their lap average back up to where it was at the end of the year.

Andy,

this trophy is pure Epic Win. Beautiful. Please just make sure that the shipping box for Arefin has lots of foam and bubblewrap.

Have fun at IRI everyone. I'll be watching.

Re: pic: 2008 IRI Trophy - Who wants it?

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 ....

Re: pic: 2008 IRI Trophy - Who wants it?

According to this you missed one.

The Rookie Award
This award celebrated the best all around rookie team (new to competition in 2008).

Or is this not being done due to 2377's lack of competition? As they are the only rookie...

13-07-2008 19:05

Andy Baker

Re: pic: 2008 IRI Trophy - Who wants it?

My post is correct... there will be no Rookie award this year.

Re: pic: 2008 IRI Trophy - Who wants it?

I thought that the trophy couldn't get any better than last year.

I was obviously wrong. That is awesome.

I want one =]

Re: pic: 2008 IRI Trophy - Who wants it?

Won’t it be great to have an award given out during the 2009 Kickoff for the “Best Off-Season Trophy Design” (for creativity)?

That would really move the Off-Season competitions up another level.

*raises hand*

I got a job at colors inc. due to their support for our team and I personally racked every one of them.

Nice Andy, very very nice.

P.S. 1741 is working hard to try to acquire one and thanks to 217 for a bit of design influence in our off season rework...
