Yesterday the students of the Lego Robotics Academy participated in the First Lego League regional competition at Gooseberry Hill Primary School. During this competition, the students had to present a project to a panel of judges. They chose to talk about the dire need for more car-parks at the school to improve safety as the school grows in students and staff numbers. Alongside this, the students had the opportunity to test their own custom-designed robot in a playing field. They programmed automated code to navigate around a map, avoiding collisions and delivering blocks to specific locations. The Aveley team did exceptionally well, placing second in the robotics competition, receiving an invitation to an exhibition match for all the other schools and advancing to the West Nationals held in December. This victory was celebrated with the competition winners and new companions, Outter X.
