A team of five boys from Endon High School, named End-Tech, has emerged victorious in a fiercely competitive regional Lego contest. Their innovative robot successfully navigated a series of challenging tasks, including lifting and destroying various objects, to outshine more than 20 other participating schools. This significant win means they will now represent Staffordshire at the first Lego League UK National Final.
The students dedicated considerable time during and after school to develop their robot. They incorporated advanced features such as color sensors for improved usability and a new coding software utilizing Python for greater accuracy. The team's victory was secured not only by their robot's performance but also by a presentation about their creation.
Described as a "nail-biting" contest, the competition was tight, with teams demonstrating high levels of skill. The End-Tech team, having won a previous regional stage, noted the increased competitiveness this year. They are set to compete in the national finals, which will be held in Harrogate later this year.
