First (FRC) Awards

To those of you unfamiliar with First, it is a STEM based program focused entirely on robotics. I know it is competitive (I have been a participant for several years), but how much weight would a district or regional championship have on my college application? If we won a large award, would this look favorably upon me in the application process? I plan on applying to a stem field in an engineering school.

I don’t have any knowledge of this program, but in general, a large award would only be a benefit to your application. It most likely wouldn’t be a “tip” factor that gets you admitted, but it speaks to your commitment to the EC you won the award in, and it would benefit you in that way.
