NASA is generously sponsoring the registration fees to the 2016 FIRST Championship for teams earning the Engineering Inspiration Award at District Championships and Regionals that occur within the United States.
They are also sponsoring the 2017 FIRST Championship registration fees for the four teams that earn the Engineering Inspiration Award at the 2016 FIRST Championship.

North Carolina certainly has two teams worthy of the award, but that's certainly an incentive too.
