I don't know about you, but from experience, this inspires students to work harder and do a better job the next year while learning lots.

Perhaps this is your first year doing FIRST. You should probably talk with "super power teams", and see how students feel on those teams. Chances are, they are really happy, not just because they did well, but because they learned a lot in the process.
