Nine teams from schools and independent teams from across the country have won the right to represent the UK at this month's VEX World Championships, after their strong performances at the VEX Robotics and VEX IQ UK National Championships.
Both competitions were hotly contested as usual. Henrietta Barnett School from Hampstead dominated the VEX IQ Finals, with five teams ranked in the top 10. Tournament champions were an all-London alliance between Henrietta Barnett's HBS Vexplosions and Gear Squad from Queen Elizabeth's School.The Skills Champions were Robot IQ, an independent team also from London. Many of the headlines were made by the WGC MicroBots team, who became one of the youngest UK teams to qualify for the World Championships. Emily Duffy, aged 9 and Beth Thomas, 8, from Welwyn Garden City, hope to be taking their robot Roy to the US after winning the Elementary School Excellence Award.
