Do you have to win an Excellence Award during the competition season to qualify for the World Championship Excellence Award? We had submitted at least 2 online design challenge and created a engineering notebook.
Yoshi,
Thanks for your message. Yes, in order to be considered for the Excellence Award during the World Championship, teams must have won an Excellence Award at a previous event. Here is the statement from the awards appendix, which can be found here http://content.vexrobotics.com/docs/vex-gateway/VEX-Gateway-AppendixE-Awards-071911.pdf
“At the 2012 VEX Robotics Competition World Championship, only teams that have submitted at least 1 online Design Challenge, have won an Excellence Award at a previous event, have signed up for an Excellence Award interview, and have signed up for a Design Award interview (with their engineering notebook) will be considered for the Excellence Award.”
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Thank you very much
