Christrmas scrimmage was help at Auckland University and graciously hosted by AURA. Teams were encouraged to dress their robots aswell as themselves. 17 teams competed in a tightly fought end of year battle. Congratulations to an alliance of 2941 (Oatemoetai College) and 2900 SymbiOHSis (Onehunga High School) who won the competition and narrowly beat our A robot which was alligned with 2915A (Lynfield College). Sorry Lynfield, it wasn't our day this time. 2915A (Lynfield College) won the best dressed robot competition. Great fun was had by all. A special thank you to 2915A (Lynfield College) who helped our A robot get to the finals.
A special mention for our youngest teammate, Aarone, who did really well driving in his first scrimmage. He finished 5th overall. |
