Pymble Robotics Shines at FIRST LEGO League National Championship

On Saturday 30 November, two of our FIRST LEGO League teams, 1993 Robotic Shark and 1994 Cosmic Tacos, proudly represented Pymble Ladies’ College at the National Championship East, held at Macquarie University. Competing among the top 48 teams from across Australia, these Year 5 and 6 students showcased exceptional dedication, creativity, and teamwork.

Both teams worked tirelessly to prepare for this prestigious event, refining their robots and presentations after the regional competition. They delivered polished innovation project and robot design presentations to the judges, while significantly improving their robot game scores on the day.

The Robotic Shark team persevered through challenges, solving technical issues and earning an impressive high score of 200 points in one of their matches. They secured twenty fifth place in the robot game rankings. The Cosmic Tacos, known for their vibrant taco-themed spirit, achieved their highest competition score yet of 180 points, finishing thirty third. These are outstanding results for two of the youngest teams at the competition.

Beyond the competition, the event was a celebration of collaboration and creativity. Both teams enjoyed networking with other robotics enthusiasts, trading badges, and waving signs decorated with their team logos. The day concluded with an inspiring closing ceremony, including a spectacular juggling act from the head referee.

Congratulations to all the students involved in this incredible journey to the National Championship. Your hard work, enthusiasm, and gracious professionalism have made the entire Pymble community proud!
