MLC School Robotics at RoboCup Junior Australian Nationals – ACT
From Friday 10 to Sunday 12 October, 14 talented students from MLC’s Competition Robotics Teams (Year 6 to Year 12) proudly represented our School at the RoboCup Junior Australian Nationals in Canberra. Accompanied by mentors Marie Cassar and Bede Schofield, this marked MLC School’s debut at the national event, where our teams competed across three divisions: OnStage, Maze, and Rescue.
With over 750 competitors from across Australia and New Zealand, this was the largest RoboCup Junior Nationals event ever held. Our students demonstrated outstanding resilience, teamwork, and determination in the lead-up to and throughout the competition.
We are thrilled to share that MLC Robotics achieved 3rd place in both the Novice and Open OnStage divisions, a remarkable accomplishment that showcases the strength and potential of our Robotics Program on a national stage.
Congratulations to all participating students and their dedicated mentors. Your hard work and passion continue to inspire our community.
