Over the past months, a group of students rom Dyffryn Taf,?Whitland, who call themselves the terrorbytes, have been preparing for the First Tech Challenge. This challenge aims to help students improve their engineering and technological skills, as well as team building and communication skills.

The terrorbytes, led by Cerys Burns, have not only had to build a robot, but design, program, and operate robots, ready to compete in the head-to-head challenge.

During a competition in Bristol on January 28 they will face another team and their robot where they have to earn points by performing various tasks. These include picking and stacking blocks and going underneath bridges. These test the robot’s engineering skills and coding skills, as well as the team’s ability to control the robot and keep calm under pressure!

“We look forward to showing the world what our robot can do, and experiencing the competition,” said Hannah Bailey.

“This is the first time that Dyffryn Taf will have competed in this competition, and we look forward to making the school proud!

“Pob lwc to all the other teams!”
