in unaided-recall surveys. Kurt Belisle, Publisher of Automation World, shares his enthusiasm. “We’re pleased to recognize
the First Team Honorees who offer both excellent customer service and best-in-class product innovation. We appreciate the end-users who took the time to vote for their favorite solution providers. Congratulations to the honorees!"
More than two dozen categories are featured which represent

ogies, software and
products in use by
today’s manufac-
turing profession-
als across the discrete, batch and continuous process manufacturing industries.
In the HMI Hardware

AutomationDirect
Announces Award

submissions this year. These young techno-artists really stepped up their game and it was difficult to choose a winner, but we had to go with FIRST Robotics Team 0846 “The Spaces I’ll Fill” animation.
This year’s robotics competition is “Destination Deep Space” so we provided a theme for the anima- tion contest of “Space.” It’s up to the animators to use that however they want: Space in your room, space on your robotics team for new members, space exploration,
etc.How they interpret the theme isn’t important. It’s how well they present their story using digital animation techniques.
You may be wondering – why does an automation company care about digital animation? Well ... that’s a bit of a story.
AutomationDirect is a huge supporter of all things STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering, Math – because it helps get young minds interested in learning and
it gets them on track for a pro- ductive and fulfilling careers. One program we support is the FIRST Robotics Competition where high school age students build 120 lb. robots to compete in an arena.
