First Tech Challenge

Over the past six weeks, a team of Year 10 students have been designing and constructing a robot to participate in the 2017 First Tech Challenge, ‘Relic Recovery’. The competition was held at Grace Lutheran College on Saturday 4^th November.

Thirteen schools participated on the day and our team achieved sixth place, which is a fantastic achievement for our first year in this competition.

Our team consisted of the following students:

• Constructing the robot – Jackson Laverick, Joey Simpson, Charlie Nightingale and Jacob Cross-Pitcher.
• Android development – Laslo Martin, Nathan Heinz and Harrison Carde.
• Programming and competition – Laslo Martin, Reuben Taverner and Charlie Nightingale.

The team really enjoyed the competition day and already have some solid strategies and ideas for the 2018 challenge. Well done to all students involved!
