Gag Awards

The gag awards are joke awards given out to various members of the club for whatever funny or notable actions they did throughout the year.

Origin

The gag awards were created in 2008 by Tanner Smith and Stephen Mihalko as something fun and humorous for the club to laugh about. Though not exactly the original plan, the awards helped bring the season to a hilarious closing spite how the robot did.

Authors

Generally the gag awards are assembled by a few members (one to three) who have a knack for humorous things. The authors think of the awards and have their signatures on the resulting award certificate given out at the end of the year party.

• 2010 - Tanner Smith, Patrick Wortman, Max Kennard
