Over the weekend of 26^th and 27^th August, students from our robotics club participated in the Western Australian Robotics Playoffs (WARP) at Curtin University. This competition involved high school teams from across the state, playing in alliances of three robots. During each game, the robots earnt points by placing cubes and cones in designated places on the game field and by balancing on a ramp. As a school, we entered two teams – My Chemical Robots and Panic! At the Drill Press. These robots have been designed, built and programmed by the students during their after-school robotics club time.

It was a very successful weekend that saw our two teams performing well during qualification matches leading to them both becoming become alliance captains. After surviving the rigors of the finals matches, Panic! At the Drill Press WON the event! My Chemical Robots finished third overall and were awarded the Innovation in Control Award for their conversion of a toaster to a controller. These students are amazing, showing passion, enthusiasm, great collaboration skills, and large amounts of resilience. Thank you to all the parents and staff who have supported us throughout this year. Well done Team 9191!
