HEEBotics Red completed the 2011 First Lego League (FLL) season with three wins. The FLL Champions Award celebrates how the team members inspire and motivate others about the excitement of science and technology, solve problems, and demonstrate respect and gracious professionalism to everyone involved in the competition. The HEEBotics Blue team won the Robot Strategy and Innovation Award at the regional tournament held at Inglemoor High School.

In a field of over 50 teams and more than 600 students, the HEEBotics RED team also won the Presentation Award for its outstanding research project and presentation dealing with lettuce contamination and creation of a unique solution to the problem. The project and presentation can be viewed at the team's website.
