Irish Mini Sumo Robotic Championship
A great day was had at the Irish Mini Sumo Robotic Championships held in Galway last Friday, May 1st. Over 400 students and 109 robots took part in the competition which sees it going from strenght to strenght and tougher each year. Having already designed, manufactured and programmed each robot, the Villiers teams were confident going into the competition that their robots would perform very well, and they did. Five teams brought their robots and three successfully made it to the quaterfinals, while one (The Black Mamba team: Conor Ryan and Patrick Higgins) went on to battle it out in the semifinal. It was tense and nailbiting stuff but unfortunately we were beaten by the robot that went on to win the final and clench the title for 2015. Congratulations to all the students on doing very well and coming so close. We will be back next year for a bite at the cherry again, who knows!!
