Yesterday, our Year 5 and 6 robotics after-school club team, 'Pelton Piranhas' had an incredible day at Nissan competing in the VEX IQ Regional Competition 'Full Volume'.
Since September, the team have been working hard in their after-school club to design, modify, code and drive their robot.
🥈At the competition yesterday, our children came second place (out of 20 North East schools) for driving and coding skills, with an impressive 53 points.🥈
🎮The team then went on to play in the teamwork challenge part of the competition. They played 5 matches with other teams, trying to score as many points as possible!🎮
🥇The team ranked 5th place at the end of the teamwork matches. Then during the final matches, Pelton Piranhas were scheduled to play with Newbottle Primary School. Whilst the other matches were underway, drivers from both schools worked hard practising and creating a strategy. Their dedication paid off, as they scored an impressive 71 points in their final match, the highest score! This meant that they were first place...the teamwork challenge champions! Coming first place in the teamwork challenge has qualified the team for the UK National Championships in Telford in March.🥇
🏆To add to their successes, during the awards ceremony, the Pelton Piranhas were awarded with the award for 'Excellence'. 🏆
🌟’The Excellence Award is the highest award presented in the VEX IQ Challenge. This award is presented to a team that exemplifies overall excellence in creating a high quality VEX robotics program.' This award is based on the robot's overall performance and from children's discussions with the judges. 🌟
🤞We are so incredibly proud of the team and all that they have achieved so far. Please wish us luck for the national competition!🤞 9 Comments 37 Likes
