The pitches were separated by centre beams with two goals cut out of them. On each side was five table tennis balls, and the aim of the challenge this year was to get as many of your balls onto your opponents side as possible. Similar to past years, our teams developed supreme robots that were excellent at capturing the table tennis ball and releasing them through to the other side. Their fantastic robots and matching driving skills allowed both teams to soar through the heat and semi final rounds, until they inevitably met in the final.

It was a Peebles against Peebles match, and since we as a school had won, the match was fairly relaxed, compared to previous years anyway. Team two was triumphant overall, getting the winning ball through with mere seconds to spare. Team one received the prize for the best designed robot however, so we were all thrilled with the outcome. We received a controller mechanism for the robots as well, meaning we could be seeing some more amazingly fun robot matches in Lab 3 sometime in the near future.
