Team TT finishes 16th in Robot Olympics

The team of Avidesh Marajh (team representative and programmer), Fahad Hosein (team captain and driver) and Josef Gonzalez (driver) won 4 out of 6 matches, defeating seasoned robotics teams like the USA and Russia.

In each two and a half minute match, team TT was paired with two other nations and were challenged to use their robot to pick up and distinguish between different coloured balls which represented clean water and contaminants.

To score points, teams deposited the balls into different locations on the playing field.

The team was mentored by Shastri Ram, the 2011 President’s Medal winner and Master’s student in robotics at Carnegie Mellon University, Daniel Ramsook, a Physics teacher at Presentation College and Vikash Marajh, a biomedical engineering student at King’s College London.
