DBS teams absolutely shone at the VEX Robotics Thailand National Finals. Not only were they amazingly well behaved and played their matches with good sportsmanship and skill but once again, we have a team who are the <\/span>Champions of Thailand<\/b>!<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n For the whole day, all 40 teams competed in Teamwork Alliance matches with other robots from another school and 3 of our teams qualified for the finals. Our 55580C Team (Ben, Freddie, Jayden, and Pat) won the whole Alliance competition with the highest score of the day in their finals match. So they are the <\/span>Teamwork Champions!<\/b> 55580A (Lene, Jani, Chann, and Puth) came 3rd and 55580B <\/span>(<\/b>Earth, Palm, TK, Shiek, and Pump) came in 5th position.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Then onto the judges awards. The <\/span>Excellence Award<\/b> is the biggest award of the day and is awarded to the team who has the best overall robot, performance, Engineering Notebook and Judges Interview points combined and takes into account the performance on the field on the day. 55580B won this top award of the day and are now the <\/span>Champions of Thailand<\/b>. This automatically qualifies the team for the World Championships. This is our 4th year of competing and with this award, DBS students have maintained their 100% record of winning this award every year!!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 55580C won the 2nd best award of the day, <\/span>The Design Award<\/b> which again, is awarded to the team who has best overall robot design, Engineering Notebook and Judges Interview points combined. This automatically qualifies the team for the World Championships.<\/span><\/p>\n 55580B also won <\/span>The Inspire Award <\/b>which recognises <\/span>passion for the competition and positivity at the event.<\/span><\/p>\n 55580A, one of our Elementary Teams won <\/span>The Create Award <\/b>which recognises a creative engineering design solution. They had a fantastic seesaw mechanism which wowed the judges and they even beat all the older teams to win this award!<\/span><\/p>\n 55580A scored so well in the Skills Competition that they are ranked 1st place in Thai World Skills Standing in the Elementary Competition. This<\/span> qualifies the team for the World Championships.<\/span><\/p>\n So that\u2019s it \u2013 5 trophies!! DBS won half of the trophies available for the whole competition.
