The final Robot Games got off to a flying start, but midway through the match ran into difficulties with a particular mission. Despite the very best effort of the team, the perfect run didn’t quite happen this time around. A score of 250 is still hugely credible, but not quite what the Jellies were hoping for. Still, an incredible effort all around!

We’re on a roll – another solid performance with a score of 285 points! One more run to go and they’re hoping to break the 300 barrier, fingers crossed!

After that second Robot Games match we took a little time out to get our official Team Photo. What a bunch of absolute superstars – we’re so proud of each and every one of you.

Before our second match Isla found several four leaf clovers and even a five leaf one on the grass outside.

It turns out this was VERY good luck as their score rocketed to 275 in the second official match.

Okay, so the first Robot Games of the day didn’t quite go as planned – in fact as Henry says it was “absolutely terrible”! With a score of 180 on the board we’re hoping the only way is up…

In happier news though, the head referee now has lasers on his shark! 🦈

Wow, what a day! We shared our presentations with the judges, met a whole bunch of teams and had our first Robot Games match!

It’s official: the competition is on and the Jelly Friends have just bought their energy, dance moves and theme tune to the stage at the WPI FIRST LEGO League International Event!

This is such a proud moment for us as their teachers. They’ve worked so incredibly hard to get to this stage and seeing them taking their place amongst the very very best teams in the world brings a bit of a tear to the eye!

Go smash it Jellies!
