On Friday 26th August, Tom Carlisle, Bodie Young, Hamish Ingham, Vasili Filippatos and Lachlan Tran participated in this year’s RoboCup 2016 at UNSW. To prepare themselves for the competition, they had made and programmed a robot during Robotics Club which they had brought with them along the day.

Our boys were part of the Search and Rescue Competition in RoboCup. In order for the students to complete all 4 rounds, they were placed into a prep room where no teachers, parents or non-participating students were allowed to enter. This meant that the programming was purely the student’s work. Unfortunately, we did not win the competition, but the boys were able to enjoy themselves and learn from others by collaborating with students from different schools. We would like to congratulate these boys for their tremendous effort and lively spirit at RoboCup 2016.

Well done boys!
