Grade 8 - We have a Sumo Bot Winner

They say football is a game of inches...

Well I say Robotics is a game of centimeters because that's how close the overtime final of the Sumo Bot competition turned out to be.  

Congratulations to .....

The Magical Walrus' who pulled out what can only be described as a down to the wire win. 

After 5 rounds of round robin play two teams ended up tied. 8-1 and 8-3. 

So we went to a tie-breaker. Each team then won a match so that meant it would all come down to one final match. We ran the clock but quite honestly we were going until someone won. When this did occur the difference between both teams were separated by mere centimeters. 

The ODD section has their winner and will now await the winner of the EVEN section winner some time towards the end of the school year.

Work has already begun on getting all the finals matches online for all to see.
