Marlborough - Students, staff and volunteer mentors of the Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School's robotics team were proud recipients of the Judges' Award at the recent For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) Connecticut Regional competition.

Event judges spent two days talking to students and mentors about their programs and were pleased with what they heard about the AZTECHS 157 team's resilience and determination when faced with unusual circumstances this year.

The team placed 13th out of 62 teams at the event, held in Hartford, Conn., and qualified for the Boston Regional March 28 and 29.
