Sumo Robot and Line Following GP competitions
Villiers school emerged as overall national champions and runners up in the mini sumo robot competition retaining the title for the second year in succession.
Our students battled it out, with two of the teams
reaching the final. It was bitter sweet seeing them take on each
other in the final, as Eoghan Campion and Darragh Vandenberg took on Ethan
Dolan’s sumo robot who eventually went on to victory.
Adding to that success, Daniel Farushev then won the
inaugural open sumo robot tournament in superb form. This competition has no limitations on the
design, components and programming of the robots.
To cap off the day, Laura Holubowicz and Sinead
O’Donnel-Stloz took part in the line following GP and F1 competitions taking 1st
and 2nd place respectively. Their robot independently navigated a
grand Prix style track clocking the fastest time on the day.
It was a huge success for all the students who took part on
the day and it was thoroughly enjoyable to see them come away with so many
honours. Congratulations to all.
