Lynfield College Robotics Team 2915E has spent the past year designing, building, and programming their robots for the 2024 - 2025 National Championships, dedicating countless hours after school, at scrimmages, and even during holidays to perfect them.
In February 2025, they competed against 76 New Zealand teams at the VEX Robotics National Championships, securing back-to-back titles! Now, they have the incredible chance to represent New Zealand at the 2025 VEX Robotics World Championship in Texas, from 6 to 8 May.
But they need your help, please donate on their Give A Little page https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/lynfield-college-robotics.
Your support will help cover travel, accommodation and competition costs, bringing them closer to the world stage. Every contribution counts. Thank you for being part of their journey!
On Thursday, Lynfield College Robotics was given an awesome opportunity to present at the UoA Newmarket Innovation Precinct and to show high school Robotics to a wide group of startups and companies.
We really enjoyed our time, showing our passionate hard work and gained experience from Robotics. We were also given a tour of the precinct, where we got to see the lovely facilities that UoA has to offer, especially their amazing workshop.
Our Robotics team was grateful for this opportunity and were glad to have experienced it.
