For people who seem upset that these girls won a different, US, prize for courageousness, in a different competition in a different month for a different robot... Someone was going to get the courageousness prize at FIRST. Why not the kids who built their robot in two weeks and traveled 2000 miles to get their visas before even leaving the country? If they didn't get it it would the inner city team whose adult mentor got cancer and couldn't come due to chemo, or the rural team from Mexico that crowdfunded their trip and blah blah blah. Complaining that kids with a feel-good story won a feel-good award is like complaining the nicest girl at a pageant gets Miss Congeniality.
