Drag racer, biorobtics and much more

Online Robocup Junior competition. Check out our builds.

This year the Robocup Junior Competition has moved online and opened up a wider range or programming and competition opportunities.

We have children entering the drag racing competition- this involves building and programming a drag racing car. The car must be able to follow a line and go as fast as possible. There has to be a clear stopping mechanism included in the code and build.

We also have a biorobotics group who are building a very cute looking Gorilla. The biorobot has to move and behave like the real animal it represents.

We look forward to the final video entries from these groups in week 10.

Our senior robotics children are working on programming line following, for the robot rescue competition. This group is working towards the National Competition to be held in Dunedin next term.
