The team worked together to design, build and programme a robot to tackle challenges related to solving cargo transportation problems.

As an eco school, the children decided to plan an innovation project around sustainable cargo transport and delivered a presentation about this to judges at the event.

The day was a great success - lots of fun was had and the team won the Robot Design Award and also competed in the final of the Robot Games.
