Vex Robotics Competition (5th class)

This year, Múinteoir Hollie and Múinteoir Michaels fifth classes are entered into the vex robotics competition. The aim of the competition is to build the robot ‘Fling’ and to get it moving. The robot must be connected to a robot brain and motors in order for it to succeed.

In each class, teams were formed.

• The builders (who build the robot, Fling)

• The drivers (who drive the robot)

• The PR team (who create posters and advertise the robot)

• The logbook team (who document the process)

• The programmer (who use an app to code the robot and get it to move with a control)

The classes have been working extremely hard to get their robots up and running and are now on their way to the competition. The competition will be held in MTU on the 8th of June. We are all so looking forward to the day and having to challenge our robot against other schools in the arena.
