Robocup Junior Otago Competition
By Phillipa Dick | Posted: Sunday July 1, 2018
Students from Balmacewen Intermediate took part in the Otago Regional Robocup Competition on Saturday, June 23rd which involved 151 students in 51 teams from 15 schools.
Congratulations to the following teams who achieved placings at the competition:
Balmac Hydras - Jenny de la Harpe, Holly Mein, Maia Penhey, Luke Rooney - Premier Theatre - 2nd place
Balmac Factory - Ollie Oberlin-Brown, Matthew Boulter - Senior Theatre - 3rd equal
We also had three teams take part in the rescue competition. Although they didn't gain placings, they learned a lot about refining their robotic programmes.
Well done to Flynn Wilson and Hope Huang who were first time competitors in the theatre event and who showed a lot of persistence in the lead up to the event.
The Robocup Nationals will be held in Dunedin on Saturday, September 15th and we look forward to our Balmacewen students performing well there too.
