On March 23, 2024, Brookhouse School Runda hosted the Inspire Robotics Challenge, organized by Stemtrix EA. STEMlens Network proudly participated in this exciting event, showcasing our robotics skills and creativity across various facets of the competition.

Core Values

The competition emphasized Core Values, evaluated during the Robot Game matches, Innovation Project, and Robot Design presentations. Our team excelled in:

• Teamwork and Discovery: Collaborating effectively to explore the challenge.
• Innovation: Developing new ideas for our robot and project.
• Impact and Inclusiveness: Demonstrating how our solutions positively affect the community.
• Celebration: Enjoying every aspect of the competition.

Robot Design

Our team prepared a comprehensive explanation of our Robot Design, programs, and strategy, focusing on:

• Mission Strategy: Identifying the best approach to tackle the missions.
• Work Plan: Designing the robot and programs based on our strategy.
• Creation and Testing: Building, iterating, and testing our robot and coding solutions.
• Communication: Presenting our Robot Design process, programs, and solutions.

Robot Game

In the Robot Game, our team had three 2.5-minute matches to complete as many missions as possible. Our approach included:

• Mission Models: Building and setting up mission models on the mat.
• Rules Review: Understanding and following the competition rules.
