VEX Sydney Day 4: Grand Finals!

Today is the Grand Finals! We are really excited about it! After an early breakfast at 6.45am, we made our way to the competition venue before 8am. The results of the qualifying rounds were released. We were a little disappointed that both S05 and S06 were not ranked among the top 8 teams.

The top 8 teams then began selecting their alliances for the quarter finals. This is when our efforts of networking with alliances in the past 2 days paid off! A few top teams approached S05 and expressed interest in partnership! We took the opportunity to explain how our robots can complement the top teams'robots especially in terms of defensive strategies. In the end, the China team which ranked 2nd picked S05 as their finals alliance! We were ecstatic!

From then onwards, our partnership with our alliance flourished. The partnership was flawless and we beat all the teams in the quarter and semi finals and entered the Grand Finals!

The Grand Finals was a close fight. In the last game, we met some issues but we managed to resolve at the last moment. The alliance won the final match!

WE ARE THE ASIA PACIFIC VEX ROBOTICS CHAMPIONS!







Another great result came from Liren who emerged runner up for the tough Programming Skill Challenge. It is a double victory for Team Rulang and Singapore! With that, Team Rulang received a record breaking double gold awards in this competition!

More photos and videos will be uploaded when we return to Singapore tomorrow night!
