Betty and the Bucket Brigade ~ Snowdrift Regionals 2009
FIRST Tech Challenge Finalist Alliance Award
This award will be given to the finalist alliance represented in the final match of the competition, usually consisting of three teams.
PTC Design Award
This judged award recognizes design elements of the robot that are both functional and aesthetic. All successful robots have innovative design aspects; however, the PTC Design Award is presented to teams that incorporate industrial design elements into their solution. The winning design should not compromise the practical operation of the robots but complement its purpose. This award is sponsored by Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC), developers of the CAD tools, Creo and Mathcad. PTC gives licenses to the FTC student teams for these software products to help them with their designs.
