Well we are on our way!

On Saturday the Kiwibots held the first Regional Competition for the 'Clean Sweep' season. With 30 teams taking part it was almost as big as the National Event we held last year! The qualification rounds were hard fought and the elimination rounds resulted in a few 'dark horse' surprises. Three competition fields ment that we were able to run a game every 5mins and our magnificent volunteers kept everything running on time.

We qualified 6 teams to compete in the world championships and hope to add more at the Lower North Island Regional competition and the upcomming Nationals.
