ROBBY Quality Award

Information

Follow the three laws of FIRST robotics:
Design first • Measure twice • Cut last

Each week, one team member will be selected to win the ROBBY Quality Award.

What does it take to win the ROBBY?

Design first
  • Integrate your subteam design with other systems
  • CAD stands for Completely Awesome Design (use it)
  • Proper planning saves time in the long run
  • Function over form (it can’t just look cool — it has to work)
Measure twice
  • Use that tape measure (holes, bolts and wires thank you)
  • Close enough is not enough (go that extra mile)
  • Make a useable interface (put your best face forward)
  • Accuracy and precision are your new middle names

Cut last
  • Remember, this is the final step
  • Straight lines, robust code and wire crimps matter (show some pride)
  • Safety first (6 weeks to build with all 10 fingers)
  • Waste not (no bolt left behind, reuse your code and keep it clean)
Keep up the awesome quality work. Go Lake Monsters!
