About the Awards
Autodesk Rising Star Visualization Award - This award is given to the best rookie visualization. Alex Broerman created the winning visualization in 2005 at The Championships, which can be viewed at our Download Page.
Autodesk Visualization Award - This award is given to the team who produces the best visualization, as decided by their peers at that specific event. As a Sophomore, Alex Broerman earned this award at the regional level, and the Rising Star award at The Championships.
Delphi Driving Tomorrow’s Technology Award - This award is given to a team with a unique feature, part, design, programming strategy, etc and can describe it in words in a concise and effective manner. We have earned this award based on our robot 'brain,' the removable electronics module of the 2005 robot. It housed all of the PWMs, spikes, controllers, and breakers which connected to the rest of the robot through a detachable array of plugs.
Delphi Golden Gear Award - This award is given to the Delphi sponsored team who finishes with the highest seed at The Championships.
Entrepreneurship Award - This award is given to a team who displays skill and forethought in business practices. Our team has been awarded this on multiple occasions, and we believe that this is on the basis of the Moriarty Fund and our Sponsorship Pamphlets.
Game Placement Awards - These awards are given based on the final outcome of the current year's game. We focus on a design strategy that will make us an effective alliance partner, to be chosen by the highest seeded teams. During practice rounds, we focus on doing our best at our strategy and not necessarily on scoring points (depending on the game).
GM Industrial Design Award - This award is given to the robot that best achieves the game strategy or purpose. We earned this award both at the regional and national level during Stack Attack. Our robot was a party in the highest scoring match at any regional with 325 points, and holds the record for the tallest stack, with a stack of seven.
UL Safety FIRST Award - This award celebrates the team that progresses beyond safety fundamentals by using innovative ways to eliminate or protect against hazards. The winning team consistently demonstrates excellence in industrial safety performance that shines throughout the competition from uncrating to re-pack.
Xerox Creativity Award - This award celebrates creative design, use of a component, or a creative or unique strategy of play.
