Over the past few days here in Auckland, the New Zealand Nationals were held for the Sack Attack season. It was a very tough tournament, and we are very pleased with our results. 2921A (our first robot, controlled by Ethan) finished in the Quarterfinals (aligned with 2921C (our third robot, controlled by Aarone and Fletcher) ), and 2921B (our second robot, controlled by me, George) finished 2nd in the finals! 2921B also won the Design Award and 2921A got the Build Award. All three robots performed well and made it into the Elimination Rounds.

The champions of the competition were 2941A (Otumoetai College) aligned with 2915A (Lynfield College) and 2941D (Otumoetai College). The High School Excellence Award went to 2918 (Glenfield College) and the Middle School Excellence Award to 7682 (Wingus and Dingus).

Our team will be travelling to Anaheim, CA this year to compete in the World Championships, and we wish all fellow kiwi teams coming with us good luck!
