The Battlefield High School Robotics team, Team 1885, took home the Engineering Inspiration Award yesterday at the Virginia Regional Competition. Teams from several states competed for this award. This is the second highest award given, and it is generally considered to be the runner up to the Chairman's award (the top award), which is usually given to teams who have been around for many years. This is awarded to "celebrate outstanding success in advancing respect and appreciation for engineering and engineers within a team's school and community,".
This award is one of three awards that earns a slot at the World Championship Competition.
