I've been thinking, and an interesting thing has presented itself to me. Statistically, I have never seen a team win an award that was not at Nationals. For example, the Animation, and the Inventor award. Instead, it seems that the teams whose robots are not present get an "honorable mention," and the runner-up gets the actual award.

And as I am one person, I have to check myself. So I ask the community: Has there ever been a team that has won one of the major awards whose robot was not present?
