With the exception of Local Awards (a special recognition designed by that region's Partner), the Rookie Award, which recognizes a team for which this is their first year competing, and displayed extraordinary achievements, the Judges Award, which recognizes a team which displays much achievement, but did not qualify for any typical award, and the Robot Performance Award, which recognizes the team with the single highest numeric robot performance score at that particular event, teams are only allowed to win one award at any particular event.
