Yesterday we competed at the HP labs in Bristol in the Southwest Regionals to see who from the region would be sent to the National Finals at Loughborough University. The presentation of our World Class project went very well, and the judges seemed quite impressed with it. Before I talk about the robot, I will explain who the robotics competition works. It starts with three rounds, with each team running there robot three times. Then, the highest score of each of the three runs dictates the top six teams. Those six teams progress onto the Quarter-finals. After that, the highest four teams run in the Semi-finals. In the Finals, the top two teams from the Semi-finals run twice, switching tables in between. The highest score from both runs dictates the winner.
Hello again!

Today we spent all our time learning how to change missions quickly and making display boards. We are getting excited as the competition is on Wednesday.
Peter H Team member Hello again,
Yesterday, we worked on our presentation and the robot. The presentation is coming on well, and we will be practicing more in our last two sessions. The robot is still being worked on, but it's accuracy is improving. We have the possibility of 5 missions in total. Our regional competition is at the HP laps in Bristol on the 26th of November, so there is a lot of excitement in the build-up. Matthew Team Leader |
