VEX Robotics Competition

We took two teams of Year 9 students to the regional VEX robotics competition on the 7th of February at North Liverpool Academy to compete in the Rapid Relay game. What an exciting day it was!

The students really had to solve problems on their feet as our batteries died almost immediately and then one of our robots broke after the practice. At the end of the first round of matches, we were 3rd and 4th respectively and the excitement started to build as we entered the final rounds where our teams came close, but in the end didn’t quite make the national finals. The students were amazing and really had to think fast to change the strategy in each round, adding elements to the robot and changing drivers, etc. With a bit more practice and changing the robot, now we understand the game a bit more and we are sure we will be there next year. Well done to the L8 Robotics and Toxteth Technicians teams as well as the Year 10 team helping to manage them
