Vex Excellence Award
The Excellence Award is the highest honor for a team to receive at a Vex Tournament. The award requires a team to display hard work, compassion, dedication, and highly developed skill in several areas. A team must have strong communication skills, displayed through teamwork during competitive matches and through in-depth interviews covering the process the team used to construct their robot and notebook. Beyond these requirements, the team must also display strong performance in competitive matches directly against opposing teams, and in semi-autonomous single match play to score the highest score you can.
