Over the past year S3-S5 pupils of the Design and Technology STEM club have been building a Rampaging Chariot to compete at the Scottish Robotic Games 2015. This project involved designing and engineering a remote controlled robot using the motors and batteries taken from two cordless power drills.
Pupils competed in three events: robot sumo, robot obstacle assault course and robot football. The team managed to reach the quarter finals of the robot sumo and the semi-finals of the football but had to concede defeat, when unfortunately our robot became irreparable due to excessive damage.
The department would like to say a massive thanks to the team for their efforts in engineering the robot and in competing at the Scottish Robotic Games. Furthermore the department would like to thank Ken Maxted (STEM ambassador) for his assistance with the club. Finally well done to Alex Bowman, Sam Sloan, Alastair Wood, Matthew Anderson, Rumaisa Zubairi, David Christie and Ross Johnstone.
The team will begin rebuilding the robot in August 2016 with an aim to compete once again at the 2016 games.
