The members of Team United Kingdom are all students at the College of Richard Collyer in Horsham, West Sussex, a state-funded sixth-form college. They come from a range of backgrounds and study a variety of subjects, but were brought together by their love of robotics. Some already had a bit of experience, while others were keen to learn. With minimal input from teachers, they have formed an effective team drawing on individual strengths of organisation, coding, engineering and problem solving. They work excellently as a team, with strong communication skills and mutual respect. As final year students on a two-year programme, they are all dedicated to passing on their expertise to the new intake. They did not benefit from this themselves as the pandemic had broken the chain of experience. They have learnt a lot in their first year as a team, and have big ambitions for the coming year.

Thank you to our supporters!
