ROBBY Quality Award

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!
