The event was a resounding success, with one of the Leicester High School for Girls teams, named R2-D2, emerging as the victors of this competition.

The event showcased the pupils' creativity, teamwork, and technical skills. The highlight was undoubtedly the robot races, where students put their designed and programmed robots to the test in head-to-head battles.

Head of Science Mr. McMurray, said, "Congratulations to Leicester High School for Girls' team R2-D2 for their well-deserved victory, and to all participants for their outstanding efforts. The inventive use of a rotating cam as a lifting method in the last round was truly impressive."
