As a large group, students investigated and analysed different launching methods then, in smaller groups, decided which method would be best suited to our ongoing design challenge.

Recently we had our first official test day with our leaders getting close to 70 points! We can’t wait to see how each group tests, analyses and adapts their robot to try and take top...
