MLC School STEM and Robotics SUMO Success

Twelve students from the MLC School STEM Academy and Robotics Co-curricular program in Year 6 and Year 7 had an exhilarating experience at the Inaugural NSW RoboCup Sumo Competition held on Wednesday, 12 November at Trinity Grammar Preparatory School.

 

In RoboCup SUMO, two autonomous robots face off, each attempting to push or flip their opponent out of a circular ring. While pushing the opponent out is the most common strategy, flipping or lifting the opponent is also strongly encouraged. The event was filled with intense competition and thrilling robot battles, where clever coding could triumph even over the strongest adversaries.

 

Our students performed exceptionally well, with two of our teams advancing to the finals. A special congratulations to our Year 6 team for securing first place in the Primary division. Well done!
