I mean, it's a perfectly legitimate award, but what about the other ones? Like Leadership in Controls or Driving Tomorrow's Technology? I think they all deserve equal recognition.

Actually, it isn't a technical award...
Quoth the manual:
Quote:
Engineering Inspiration
This award celebrates a team’s outstanding success in advancing respect and appreciation for
engineering and engineers, both within their school, as well as their community. Criteria
include: the extent and inventiveness of the team’s efforts to recruit students to engineering, the
extent and effectiveness of the team’s community outreach efforts, and the measurable success of
those efforts. This is the second highest team award FIRST bestows.

So it seems technical awards no longer qualify you for Championships.
