Congratulations to Braydon Nikolaison, Luke Rusden, and their robot ‘Steve’ for winning their division at this weekend’s regional Robocup. Eleven schools from as far away as Levin and Taranaki entered, with the Cornerstone team entering the most difficult event – the Senior Rescue. Their autonomous robot had to navigate around several obstacles, follow a track, and rescue a person from a chemical spill.
It was a close competition, with the top two teams virtually tied before the final round. ‘Steve',’ although slightly slower than his opposition, was much better at sensing which direction to turn, and finished the duel ahead, 174 points to 168.
