Our High School Robotics Team was awarded the PTC Design Award and advanced to the State Level which will be held on January 18th in Flagstaff. Thank you to the all staff members for their great support!!! Congratulations to SSA PHX Golden Eagles
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. These design elements could simplify the robot’s appearance by giving it a clean look, be decorative in nature, or otherwise express the creativity of the team. The winningdesign 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. PTCgives licenses to the FTC student teams for these software products to help them with their designs. Use of these tools is not required to be eligible, however, teams that use them in their design are given extra consideration for this award.

- Team demonstrates respect and Gracious Professionalism to all
- Team must submit an Engineering Notebook with an Engineering Section that includes detailed robot designdrawings
- Robot differentiates itself from others
- Design is both aesthetic and functional
- Basis for the design is well considered (i.e. inspiration, function, etc.)
