Great Minds Robotics Team 10700A "Red Fox" won the coveted Design Award in the Innovate Division at the 2024 VEX IQ Middle School World Championship in Dallas, TX. To earn this award, our team had to clearly and correctly explain to judges the engineering design process they followed to build, test, and program their unique X-Drive robot. The award is then given to a team that demonstrates the best engineering design process, based on in-person interviews and the team's engineering notebook. Along with Division Champion Award, the Design Award is the highest honor any team can earn at Division level. This year, there are a grand total of 5 divisions - and therefore 5 total Design Awards earned at the World Championship! Congratulations, team "Red Fox" - you're one of just 5 teams in the World to be recognized so highly for your achievements! Thank you to all event volunteers, best of luck to all teams, and we'll see you at VEX Worlds 2025!
