Robotics Regional Competition

Into the knockouts, our 2nd-ranked team faced an early exit — but it was at the hands of our Year 9 team, who won a very tight match 36-35.

The top-ranked team and the 3rd-ranked team sailed through to the semi-finals, with our Sixth Formers setting a high score of 93 on their way to the final.

In the second semi-final, the 3rd-ranked team faced our 7th-ranked Year 9 team in another close match. A last-second mistake by the Year 9 team seemed to favor our second Sixth Form team, but the final score came through as a 26-24 victory for Year 9!

The final match was much closer than the score suggested, with the 7th-ranked underdog Year 9 team pushing the top-ranked alliance all the way. After winning the first phase, a potential upset seemed possible, but a valiant fightback and dominant control of the high goals saw the Sixth Formers emerge victorious with a score of 87-39.

If this is any indication of how the teams will perform this year, we have an exciting season ahead!
