Special Awards

Motivate

The Motivate award recognizes outstanding team spirit shown though costumes and
outfits, team support, and other methods of standing out and raising attention.

Teams that reach out to their schools and community to raise awareness of FIRST
and their FTC efforts have done so in a variety of cool and inventive methods.

The nominees are:

The judges said:

"Your colorful and electric costumes make the judges put on their sunglasses.
The team and the supporters bring a high level of enthusiasm to the FTC Challenge.
You motivated other teams by providing support and help to get ready for the FTC."

The Motivate Award is presented to #365 - MOE!


Connect

Winners of the Connect Award have done a great deal of community outreach
not only to spread the word about FIRST but specifically to include engineers,
scientists, and other technology professionals into their outreach efforts.

Connect Award winners also develop and execute plans to fund their team including clear goals
and objectives - including how they can give back to their community in the future.

The nominees are:

The judges said:

"The winning team created a budget, a business plan, and then went out into the
community to obtain sponsors. They so impressed a major robotics company
that a company engineer volunteered to mentor them. They have conducted
robotic demos in libraries and schools in their community. As part of their outreach,
these young women also mentor FTC and FLL teams."

The Connect Award is presented to #3489 - Minds in Gear!


Innovate

The Innovate Award is robot specific. It celebrates teams who come up with
innovative solutions to the Game Challenge that most others have overlooked.
These solutions can't just look good - they've got to work... at least most of the time.

The nominees are:

The judges said:

"This team considered each strategy per point values and designed and prioritized
their build around that plan. The team successfully employed sensors in
a matter which progressed this strategy. Their robot's multiple strategies
for scoring during Autonomous Mode positioned the team for high scoring."

The Innovate Award is presented to #3539 - Fear the Gear!


PTC Design Award

We are happy that PTC has offered to sponsor the PTC Design Award. The intent of
this award is to expand the challenge, inspiring teams to incorporate industrial
design into their robots.

These elements can be shown in the simplicity of the design as it applies to
the tasks, the look and feel of the robot, and how the design allows us to
think of robots in new ways.

The nominees are:

The judges said:

"This team optimized their robot by making design decisions using ProEngineer. After
modeling their entire design, they used CAD files to program a CNC machine to
fabricate critical parts. The judges were stung by their design."

The PTC Design Award is presented to #118 - Steel Hornets!


Think

The Think Award recognizes the team that has successfully thought, organized,
and documented their journey from their starting point to their final design.

The engineering notebook is the record of this journey. Just like in real
life, teams that can document their process have the best chance
at learning from it and improving on it.

The nominees are:

The judges said:

"The book was very thorough and complete. It contained pictures, diagrams, Bill of
Material, Community Service, and much more. The team was not BAAAA-shful about
including everything. The judges saw no attempt to pull the wool over their eyes."

The Think Award is presented to #7 - Tactical Sheep!


Inspire

The Inspire Award is the highest award given by FTC. The winner of the Inspire Award
is automatically eligible for advancement to the next tournament level. Winners of the Inspire
Award at a Championship Tournament are eligible to compete in the 2010-2011 FTC World
Championship in Atlanta.

The Inspire Award winner is the 'prototype' for what we'd like to see all teams achieve
as part of the FIRST Tech Challenge. They do many of the things mentioned in the
other awards. The difference is that they've tied these together in a comprehensive
manner resulting in success in the competition, outreach to the community, robot design, team
spirit, and engineering accomplishment.

The nominees are:

The judges said:

"This team impressed the judges in all categories and exemplifies gracious professionalism. The robot's
design with multiple sensors, advanced drive system, and unique conveyor belt propelled the team
into the top rankings. They freely shared their knowledge, their extra robot parts and their enthusiasm
with other teams. "

The Think Award is presented to #4220 - Landroids!
