Pupils’ face off at EMC VEX Robotics finals

We are the robots.

Well, not quite, but more than 1,000 primary and secondary school students are competing in the national robotics tournament, which got under way yesterday.

The national final of the EMC VEX Robotics Competition takes place at the Nexus Hall at Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) across three days, finishing tomorrow, and the winner will qualify for the VEX Worlds Robotics Championships, which will be held in Kentucky in April.
