Team Charlie Squad was awarded the Think Award for their programming skills, and Oblivion was awarded the Judges Award for their outstanding interview.

In another category, skills is a test to see how well the robot can perform solo and ranks them against other bots. Charlie Squad ranked fifth overall at the competition, and their high score qualifies them for the state tournament.
