The team was awarded the Gracious Professionalism Award which is sponsored by Johnson & Johnson. This award celebrates outstanding demonstration of FIRST core values such as continuous Gracious Professionalism (willingness to help other teams) and working together both on and off the playing field.
While announcing the award at the event, the judges referenced the ability of the entire team to work as a unit together. Efforts specifically recognized by judges included the efforts of seniors Mark Bense and Connor Devitt as well as freshman Alex Fang to help reprogram a competitors robot. The team would like to thank all mentors and sponsors for their support this season.
