The team earned the V5RC Judges Award, which is given to teams that show outstanding effort, perseverance, or unique accomplishments that don’t fit into other award categories. Judges recognized 587W for their hard work and creativity throughout the competition.
They also received the Chesterton "Handshake Award," which is given to teams that demonstrate a consistently positive attitude, no matter what challenges they face. Their sportsmanship and teamwork set them apart.
