The Robot Club has returned for a new season with a practice 'bodgebot' tournament.
Teams spent two weeks building a pre-fabricated and relatively simple wooden robot, the 'bodgebots', to learn the basic mechanics and electronics of robot construction. Each team was allowed to modify one element of their robot, using CAD and 3D printers to learn that element of the process.
Teams then fought it out in a mini arena set up in the Atrium, in a fun practice of a robot battle.
The bodgebot champion was Carbot-Killer-Robbit, built by team-mates Andrea and Aditi, after an enjoyable evening.
Teams will now take a break for Christmas, before reuniting in the new year for the next stage of robot development.
