Team Honors & Awards

FIRST recognizes both on-field performance and the attributes that help FIRST achieve its mission to change culture. While a few awards are based solely for on-field performance, the judges determine the majority of the awards. The highest honor is the Chairman's Award, which recognizes the team that best accomplishes the FIRST mission to change the culture of the U.S. It is bestowed to one team at each regional. The Chairman’s Award winner for the Championship event is selected from the regional Chairman’s Award winners.

The awards FIRST judges bestow are a combination of awards based on the machine, creativity and innovation, and team performance. These awards are designed to help FIRST achieve its mission of demonstrating that science and technology can be enjoyable and rewarding. The judges select teams to win awards at each of the regional competitions and at The Championship. Other awards are selected by the teams themselves, Safety Advisors and outside panels of experts.

Below is the list of awards that TJ² has received over the past 23 years! 
We continue to work as hard as we can to accrue as many awards as possible. We'll see what happens this year!​
