VEX Robotics national finals
It was a real honour to see Team Spectrum at the national finals of the VEX Robotics competition. Their ambition and determination to be the best had led them to a major rebuild of ‘Gertrude’, just days before the finals. So on the long drive to Telford, at 6.30 am, the boys were tinkering and coding the robot to try and get it performing its tricks to the highest level of precision.
As with most engineering challenges, it takes a considerable amount of iterative development before a product can perform its function successfully, so most of day one was spent developing and testing. The ongoing result of this was that Spectrum’s usual high scoring games were very much lower, hovering near the bottom of the league table.
However, Alex, Darius, Trishan and Emilian are made of tough stuff and despite the many difficulties they encountered, this did not deter them from trying to get Gertrude back to winning ways. Things improved significantly on day two, but in the end it was just too late to make up the gap between them and the top performing teams.
Whatever the boys end up doing in the years to come, they can look back on the last few years of STEM related work with a sense of pride. They are a truly inspiring group of students who I am confident will go on to great things.
Thanks also to Mr Varsani for his support of STEM over the years and for sponsoring the team hoodies.
Well done all.
