Knox Grammar hosted its very first on-campus VEX IQ Robotics tournament at the weekend with 24 teams travelling from all over Sydney to take part.
The students who attended showed tremendous creativity and ingenuity in their varied approaches to this season’s challenge.
The teamwork and collaboration between different teams throughout the tournament was a positive affirmation of why this type of competitive robotics is so popular around the world.
