On February 13th a group from 5th/6th class travelled to St Mary's Edenderry to participate in the 22/23 VEX IQ Robotics 'Slapshot' challenge, along with our robot. Apart from a few challenging moments when the robot and controller refused to communicate with each other mid-match, a great day was had by all. Thanks to Offaly County Council and Ray Bell and Dean Hodges for all the work they put into organising this event.
Prior to this a lot of work had been put in by all in 5th/6th class, with help from Transition Year work experience students, building a practice arena, building the robot, tweaking the design and then practicising driving it.
