Our Awards
Over the numerous years of competition, we have won many different awards. Like any other competition, the awards are ranked from highest honors to honorable mentions for everyone's accomplishments. The topics vary from having the most Team Spirit, to the best Sportsmanship, having a successful unique design for a robot, all the way up to being the best overall team with having extensive knowledge, community service and heart.
Even though our goal is about the kids and the overall experience the students gain, it's nice to be acknowledged with winning an award and coming home with a trophy.
We are very proud of our team's accomplishments over the past couple decades and are looking forward to the years to come.
