EA Games Irish Sumo Robot Competition

Sumo Robots

On the 20th May 2016 Villier's Technology Sumo Robots battled it out in the Irish EA Sumo Robot Games and were victorious. Team Cortex (Ben Crowley) came out on top beating over 150 other sumo robots from all over Ireland to win the Junior EA Games Sumo Robot Competition. It was a great day and our team of nine robots did superbly well. It culminated in a tense final against "The Wall" from St. Gerald's College, Castlebar. In the end there could only be one winner and having come so close in previous years, this turned out to be our year in the end.

Tech Week

It was a very exciting and enjoyable technology week in Villiers. Students experienced and engaged in activities which included exploring environments in virtual reality, drone technology, robotics and gesture motion control technologies. Our new addition to the staff, Vill the robot, concluded the week by overseeing our Aeroplane design and fly competition. It proved to be a great success and we look forward to seeing what new technologies await us next year.
