1058 won this award at the UNH district event last week. The major thing that they liked was how we designed our robot to be robust and we how we didn't break any part of our robot throughout the competition. They also liked our unique design and how the students were the ones who built it and described it to the judges. While we functioned well on the field, they don't care about your record or anything like that (we went 4-7-1 and were quarterfinalists).
