The Best Engineered Award, also called the Best Engineering Award, Excellence in Engineering Award[1][2] and for the 2005 Rochester Robot Rampage event, the Judges Engineering Award, was an award presented to BattleBots competitors deemed to be particularly effective and reliable as a result of its design.

It was first presented during the 1999 events in Long Beach and Las Vegas (the latter as the Excellence in Engineering Award), but was shelved for most of the show's Comedy Central run. After Snake won it in Season 2.0, it was not awarded again until the start of the annual BattleBots IQ events, where the award grew to recognise robots from various divisions.

Following the return of BattleBots in 2015, engineering has become a factor in deciding the winner of the Best Design Award, which has been presented annually since World Championship I.
