Before this gets any further, judging by the way you wrote this I can tell you feel your team should've gotten a specific award and didn't and seen a team you felt was less qualified to get such award.
That being said I just want to remind you that the Judges have a very difficult time in awarding teams b/c there's so many teams and so few judges at each event. Judges try and do their very best in making sure that deserving teams are awarded. So if you feel you were cheated out of an award remember FIRST is not about winning awards. It's about forming Partnerships, forming friendships, learning and having fun at the same time AND assisting in molding in yours and everyone elses futures. FIRST is 1501 Teams strong... Not all 1501 Teams will get awards will try and do their best to go home with something. And if not who cares! Your still a winner for competing.
Now if you want to share your story knock your socks off just keep in mind that FIRST does their very best in making sure everyone gets awarded. Their biggest award to you is giving you the tools you need to form something memorable and fun while learning about it all in depth at the same time.
