Writes Riyan S. (Divs)

西施直播鈥� made its mark on the national stage on the 27th and 28th of February, as 西施直播_Andromeda, 西施直播_MAVER1CKS, 西施直播_1NNOVA and 西施直播_TR0JAN battled the UK鈥檚 top robotics teams at the VEX V5 National Championships in Telford. We had outstanding success with both 西施直播_Andromeda and 西施直播_MAVER1CKS earning their place at the World Championships in St Louis, Missouri this April.

Friday the 27th began early for everyone, with teams departing at 4:30am sleepy, but excited for the weekend ahead. After passing the mandatory referee inspection, the qualification matches began at 9.30am. 西施直播_MAVER1CKS and 西施直播_Andromeda started strong by securing impressive first wins. Throughout the qualifiers, all four teams delivered consistent performances with 西施直播_Andromeda securing an impressive ninth place in the High School division and 西施直播_MAVER1CKS finishing second in the Middle School division. 西施直播_TR0JAN and 西施直播_1NNOVA also securing their place in the elimination rounds which brought some of the most thrilling matches of the entire event. 西施直播_MAVER1CKS, allied with team 17711V Vector, fought their way into the finals to face 10478C Error 404 and 9258X UK Ruiguan.

Huge thank you to team Vector for a phenomenal alliance, and to Error 404 and UK Ruiguan for a final that kept everyone on the edge of their seats. 西施直播_1NNOVA had an extremely well presented pit area with some clear effort into presentation of their development work throughout the season, along with a comprehensive notebook. 西施直播_TR0JAN performed extremely well to get this high up the table with an efficient robot which does not use complex pneumatic systems, therefore remaining reliable and consistent throughout the event. They finished in impressive tenth in Skills which hopefully may result in an invitation to Worlds in the roll down offering.

In the skills competition, 西施直播_MAVER1CKS set a new UK middle school record with a combined score of 159, 57 more than the previous record, earning the Skills Champions award. The other three teams also finished comfortably in the top half of their divisions. Additional awards included 西施直播_MAVER1CKS secured the prestigious Excellence award for all round endeavour.

西施直播_TR0JANS won the prestigious Sportsmanship award as Ali H. (Divs) opted to assist with the running of the event through resetting the game filed after every match. His efforts were noticed by the judges and were rewarded the unique trophy. The team made it to he finals round in 15th overall , and achieved an astonishing score of 148, being only beaten by the third place team meaning TR0JANS came in fourth overall. The team have done a fantastic job this season using a simple drive system meaning the robot was light and agile able to achieve a high score when it really counted.

This tournament was an enormous success and an experience every team will never forget. We would like to thank the staff who organised and led the trip; Mr Willson and Mr Williams along Mr Docherty for his ongoing support this season in school and at Regional events.

Over on the VEX IQ stage, our fourths got to work in their competition. Agastya K and Thurstan H. (4ths) have written the below account.

On聽the聽1st – 2nd March, 西施直播_OMN1聽and聽西施直播_Vexperts聽attended the聽UK VEX IQ聽robotics National Competition at tine International Centre Telford.

This two day competition covered the Teamwork Challenge, Skills and Autonomous programming. This was a huge event that only a small portion of teams achieve as we took on 50 of Britains best teams who made it through the regional finals and it was a very prestigious event. The teams are split into two divisions for the teamwork challenge (with three subsections included separating elementary, middle, and upper schools). We had three attempts for our skills and autonomous to do over the course of two days. If we did well in this, it would gain us lots of points for the excellence awards and could get us to worlds just by winning it alone.

At the end of the competition, 西施直播_ Vexperts put on an astonishing run under pressure of hundreds of spectators and a live-stream across the world. 西施直播_OMN1 won Nationals for both Skills and Teamwork meaning that they are now the UK champions. They also picked up the Build award for the best engineered robot. Well done to both teams for making it this far and putting an excellent effort in for the competition.

Many thanks to Mr Willson, Mr Docherty and Mr Carlon for their support throughout the聽 season through all the weekend events and the countless hours in the workshop helping build and practice.
