Judged Awards
Motivate Award - Sparking others to embrace the culture of FIRST!
This Team embraces the culture of FIRST and clearly shows what it means to be a Team. This judged award
celebrates the Team that represents the essence of the FIRST Tech Challenge competition through Team
building, Team spirit and displayed enthusiasm. This is a Team who makes a collective effort to make FIRST
known throughout their school and community, and sparks others to embrace the culture of FIRST.

PTC Design Award - Industrial design at its best
This judged award recognizes design elements of the Robot that are both functional and aesthetic. The PTC
Design Award is presented to Teams that incorporate industrial design elements into their solution. These
design elements could simplify the Robot’s appearance by giving it a clean look, be decorative in nature, or
otherwise express the creativity of the Team. The winning design should not compromise the practical
operation of the Robot but complement its purpose. This award is sponsored by Parametric Technology
Corporation (PTC), developers of the CAD tools, Creo and Mathcad. PTC gives licenses to the FIRST Tech
Challenge Teams for these software products to help them with their designs.

Rockwell Collins Innovate Award - Bringing great ideas from concept to reality
The Rockwell Collins Innovate Award celebrates a Team that thinks outside the box, and has the ingenuity and
inventiveness to make their designs come to life. This judged award is given to the Team that has the most
innovative and creative Robot design solution to any specific components in the FIRST Tech Challenge game.
Elements of this award include elegant design, robustness, and ‘out of the box’ thinking related to design. This
award may address the design of the whole Robot, or of a sub-assembly attached to the Robot. The creative
component must work consistently, but a Robot does not have to work all the time during Matches to be
considered for this award. The Team’s Engineering Notebook must include journal entries to show the design
of the component or components and the Team’s Robot to be eligible for this award. Entries must describe
how the Team arrived at their solution.

Connect Award - Connecting the dots between community, FIRST, and the diversity of the engineering world
This judged award is given to the Team that most connects with their local science, technology, engineering
and math (STEM) community. A true FIRST Team is more than a sum of its parts, and recognizes that
engaging their local STEM community plays an essential part in their success. The recipient of this award is
recognized for helping the community understand FIRST, the FIRST Tech Challenge, and the Team itself. The
Team that wins the Connect Award aggressively seeks and recruits engineers and explores the opportunities
available in the world of engineering, science and technology. This Team has a clear Business or Strategic
Plan and has identified steps to achieve their goals.

Think Award - Removing engineering obstacles through creative thinking
This judged award is given to the Team that best reflects the journey the Team took as they experienced the
engineering design process during the build season. The Engineering section of the notebook is the key
reference for judges to help identify the most deserving Team. The Team’s Engineering section must focus on
the design and build stage of the Team’s Robot. Journal entries must include descriptions of the underlying
science and mathematics of the Robot design and game strategies, the designs, redesigns, successes, and
opportunities for improvement. A Team is not a candidate for this award if they have not completed the
Engineering section of the Engineering Notebook.
