Students in the DT after school club have been working hard to prepare their radio controlled 4x4 vehicle for the Regional Finals at The Bristol and Bath Science Park on 25 February.
The team are required to design, build and test their own radio controlled car to successfully navigate and complete an obstacle course on an off-road test track, whilst competing against other local schools! The vehicle must emulate the capabilities of a full size 4x4 vehicle.
On the day the team will be racing their car and discussing their design features with the judges. Alongside the racing elements, they will also have to deliver a presentation and design a variety of information boards to create a team display area.
If successful in the Regional Finals, the team will compete in the National Finals and then the National Champions from each country are invited to compete at the Land Rover 4x4 in the Schools World Finals in Dubai.
We will keep you up to date with our progress!
