Awards

Each year, FIRST Robotics awards teams for outstanding performance in different categories. These include everything from robot design to team spirit. FIRST also has awards for specific individuals on a team. Teams can even create their own awards, which they give to fellow teams in order to appreciate or highlight a certain performance or quality.
