Innovate Submission

PreviousCompetition WriteupNextAppendix

Last updated 10 months ago

As of the 2023~2024 season REC Foundation has provided a new requirement for teams to be eligible for the Innovate Award. To be eligible teams must fill out and submit the Innovate Award Submission Form which is linked and shown below.

REC Foundation Innovate Award Submission Form

Innovate Award Submission Information Form

Things to remember when submitting this form.

  • The instructions state specific locations of where to include this form depending on if this is a physical or digital submission

    • Physical - Inside the front cover or as the last page

    • Digital - At the beginning of the notebook, after the TOC, or as the last page

  • Teams may only submit one aspect of their design to be considered

  • Innovation can occur within either the physical build, programming, or even startegy.

  • Keep the description brief. It is not necessary to regurgitate all the information already provided in the notebook

  • Double check the identified pages that are being stated where the innovative solution can be found in the notebook

  • Remember to update the form as the season progresses to include any new information

  • It’s okay to pivot or change what is being submitted as an innovative solution

In addition to this form, information associated with this form can be included in the team’s digital engineering notebook submission in their Robot Events admin portal.

This information can be entered by the team's admin, usually the Coach or mentor, and should be updated as required when new notebook update are made.
