The Springfield robotics team is focused on building a robot to take part in the "Biobuzz" competition for the First Tech Challenge - a competition that promotes skills such as teamwork and oracy in addition to working with robotics. We are very grateful to the generosity of the Solent Careers Hub for facilitating this opportunity. The build is progressing steadily but is still in its early stages. However, we are to be mentored by some ambassadors from defence and security company QinetiQ, which will hopefully help speed the team up! We are looking forward to travelling to Southampton Solent University on 9 December for a "scrimmage", in which we will bring what we have completed of the robot so far and interact with other schools undertaking the challenge.
