Engineering students from the University have won the UK finals of the ‘Eurobot’ competition.
This event, which was themed ‘Robots on the Beach’, took place at Middlesex University’s Hendon Campus in London yesterday.
The team, called ‘Smack My Beach Up’, consisted of four second-year students – Mitchell Buxton, Hugh Ward, Ben Brooks and Song Zheng. They were tasked with designing, building and programming robots to compete against teams from several UK universities, plus international teams from France and Germany.
The team were awarded a trophy, as well as a £200 prize from Rapid Electronics who sponsored the event.
They will now represent the UK in the international finals of Eurobot, to be held in Paris from 10-12 June 2016, where they will be pitted against the best teams from across the globe.
