🚀 UISG Robotics: A Story of Passion, Perseverance, and Progress!

This past weekend, Utahloy International School Guangzhou (UISG) made its mark at the ACAMIS VEX Robotics National Competition hosted at CIS in Panyu! 🏆

What makes this achievement even more incredible? Our teams had only a few classes to prepare after the robots arrived, while many competitors had months of preparation. Yet, our students rose to the challenge and delivered outstanding results!

🌟 Why This is a BIG Deal:

Our VEX IQ team, Byte Wolves (Neev Desai, Zack Hsiao, and Ryan Geyer), exemplified exceptional sportsmanship and resilience throughout the competition.

Notably, they were one of the youngest teams to compete, showcasing impressive skills against older competitors.

Despite encountering significant challenges, including two breakdowns of their robot, the team displayed an unwavering “never give up” attitude.

Their remarkable ability to troubleshoot and repair under pressure enabled them to continue competing successfully.

Ultimately, they secured 23rd place overall and were honored with the Sportsmanship Award—a true testament to their teamwork and positive spirit! 🐺✨

Both of our V5 Teams, Ctr+Alt+Defeat (Mikayla Verb, Aarav Deepak, Evan Huang, and Shawn Liu) and Byte Pack (Daisy Fu, Frank Whiston, Samuel Whiston and Xoraya Zaqtan), had just 6 club sessions to design, build, and program their robot from scratch.

Meanwhile, many of their competitors started working on their robots at the beginning of the school year. Despite this, our teams made an epic comeback from Regionals to attend nationals.

Ctr+Alt+Defeat (Mikayla Verb, Aarav Deepak, Evan Huang, and Shawn Liu) was able to secure a spot in the finals!

Although the competition was fierce with them as the 16th place alliance competing against the 1st place, their alliance won autonomous, and they were hopeful knowing they could create something better in the upcoming year with more time to dedicate. 💪

Their journey is a testament to their hard work, creativity, and determination.

Competing against seasoned teams, they held their own and proved that UISG Robotics is a program to watch.

This is a truly inspiring feat for a first-year team! 🐺✨

💡 What’s Next?

The excitement is building for next year! Our students are already looking forward to dedicating more time to their robots, refining their skills, and taking their creations to the next level.

But it doesn’t stop there—they’re also passionate about growing the program to include more students and teams.

Together, they’re building a legacy of innovation and teamwork at UISG.

💡 This is Just the Beginning!

For a brand-new robotics program, these results are nothing short of amazing! 🎉

Our students started with just the basics, and in a short time, they’ve already proven they can compete with the best. Imagine what they’ll achieve with more time, resources, and experience!
