Our UNSW EMU Robotics team participated in the First Lego League Regional Competition, held on the 17th of November at Unity Grammar School. I am pleased to advise that we won the Breakthrough Award and the Robot Performance Award and our team has advanced into Nationals.<\/p>\n
The Robot Game is where we test our robot and code to undergo missions on the field. For this section, we came first and we won the Robot Performance Award.<\/p>\n
The Project is where we come up with a solution to an existing issue that impacts society. In our case, we decided to tackle the rising rates of obesity and create the Work-A-Gotchi app. We referred to a physiotherapist and also surveyed students to find out what the app needed. This is an app that includes a digital buddy in animal form, a music player, a chat to connect with other users and the opportunity to level up with your Work-A-Gotchi.<\/p>\n
Our app model is a work in progress, and we hope to improve it for Nationals.<\/p>\n
Our team was also tested on our Core Values, which was good, and Robot Design which we also need to improve on.<\/p>\n
