Year 5 triumph at RoboCupJunior Line Tracking UK National Primary Finals

On Thursday 27 June, fourteen of our Year 5 girls participated in the RoboCupJunior Line Tracking UK National Primary Finals. The girls had to program their CrumbleBot robots to follow a line around 12 separate and very varied courses, against the clock. There was also a ‘Pursuit’ Challenge, similar to Olympic velodrome cycling events.

At the end of the day's competition, we were delighted that our 'Backspace' team were crowned as UK National Primary Line Tracking Champions, receiving an engraved cut glass trophy. Our 'Red Herrings' team were awarded 4th place overall and we also received four Fastest Individual Track Awards and the Best Poster Award.

The all of the girls worked incredibly hard and showed great teamwork and perseverance throughout a very long and demanding day.
