The team worked hard for several weeks to program a Lego Mindstorms robot to autonomously tackle a variety of challenges relating to this year's them of Nature's Fury which looked at how technology can help prepare for, and recover from, a variety of natural disasters. The team also gave a technical presentation to the judges, explaining how they tackled the challenges, and gave a presentation outlining their ideas for a novel means of using technology in a real life disaster situation.
Not all of those who worked on the preparation for the competition were able to attend on Saturday, but the team won through to the Semi-final stage where they were knocked out by the eventual Scottish Championship winning team.
It was a nail-biting finish, and a most exciting and enjoyable day. The team performed brilliantly and were a credit to themselves and our school. Well done.
