STEM VEX Robotics Nationals Championships

Our VEX VRC teams The Nutty Bolts - comprised of Hannah (M5 Aib), Misha (M5 Aib), Feeza (M5 A), Anaya (M5 A) and Sarika (M5 Alpha) - competed at the National championships in Telford over the course of two days between the Friday 3 to Saturday 4 March. They were joined by the Boys’ School Sixth Form and Year 10 teams.

The team had been building and programming their robot since September and, at the championships, took part in qualification matches that determined final rankings. During the matches, the team took it in turns to drive the robots, trying to score the most points using foam discs.

The final results meant that the team did not make it past the first round, but all valued the experience.
