VEX Robotics 2024

It was great to see our new team of robotics students enter their first tournament on Saturday 27th January. As a rookie team, it was always going to be a big challenge competing against older and more experienced students, but their robot ‘Mech-e’ stood up to the challenge well, scoring vital points and surviving the punishing treatment dished out by other robots.

The first tournament was a steep learning curve and should put the boys in a much stronger position when they enter their next competition on the 14th February.
Well done to Sameer, Benny, Leo, Findlay and Jacob for all their hard work and resilience.
