Two of the Robotics Team members won in the 17th International Robot Olympiad 2015 China Open (IRO 2015 China Open). The event was held in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China from 14th to 17th August 2015. The participants were John Sebastian Gerard Julian Dela Cruz (DLSZ 2017) and Justin Aaron Natividad (DLSZ 2018). They were accompanied by the Team Coach, Mr. Albert Morris Pagilagan.
Justin Aaron Natividad received a gold medal in the Sumobot Mini (500g) Challenge. He also participated in the Mission Challenge Event. John Sebastian Gerard Julian Dela Cruz participated in the Mission Challenge, Lego Line Tracing, Sumobot Mega (3 kg), and Sumobot Lego (1 kg) events. He got several certificates of excellence for besting several other Chinese and Singaporean teams. Thus, he also received a gold medal award.
The IRO is an annual International Robot Olympiad where students of primary and secondary levels use their creativity, robotic knowledge, and skills to explore and develop robots for missions designed by International Robot Olympiad committee.
Kudos to team coach Albert Pagilagan!
