Sumobots Vs. Opunake Primary Highlights

This video created by Jayden from Room Two shows every epic battle from the Sumo-bots competition at Auroa School Today. The competition was ultimately won by Zayden from Room Six and Jayden from Room Three.

The students had been building their robots since last term, from scratch.  They were either NXT Lego Robots or EV3 Lego Robots and the students spent their own time creating and refining their robots.  In the end the robots had to face each other in the sumo ring 1 on 1.  The first robot to push the other one out of the ring, topple the other one over, or cause it to loose a part (as happened in the first epic round) was declared the winner.  These amazing highlights were filmed by students from Room Three and edited and produced by Jayden and Ashton.

Robotics: 2015 Sumo Challenge Highlights

Room Three has six students who are featuring as part of the Auroa Primary School Robotics Program. The students in this program meet every Tuesday from 2pm to 5pm. The students are preparing for a competition against three other local schools as part of the MOA Kluster - Matapu, Kaponga and Opunake. Two of the students from the program, Zariah and page decided to show our audience what's going on. They recorded this footage and today in class produced an iMovie showing whats happening. This slideshow also includes footage of the sumo bots in action - you can see two of the robots battling at just past the one minute mark. Fantastic work from two of our wonderful students.
