On Saturday and Sunday, the inaugural RoboCon Oxfordshire event came to a climax. Launched back in November, students at schools around Oxfordshire have spent intervening months experiencing engineering first hand by designing, building, programming and testing their robots. Their work culminated in a 2 day competition last weekend. Teams also took the opportunity to work with mentors from Abingdon School (“pink shirts”) who helped them make improvements to their robots. This resulted in a keenly contested final round with Gosford Hill taking 1st prize, Europa School 2nd, with Larkmead and a team from John Mason joint 3rd.
