Aurel, a robot designed by five Slovak secondary school students, is not leaving this year’s robot Olympics with empty hands. It was granted the Judges Award – Technical, for the recognition of the merits of a team’s unique efforts, performance or dynamics.

Slovakia’s representatives at the 2018 FIRST Global Challenge competition held in Mexico City between August 15 and 18 had a chance to prove that the country has a young generation with great talent and potential.

Even though the Slovak students placed 62nd and did not make it to another round, their robot, named after scientist, engineer and constructor Aurel Stodola, received more points than 10 qualifiers, reads the official press release.

The special award granted by all members of the jury is a great success and an appreciation of the students’ work.

“We are really grateful for this award and perceive it as an appreciation of our robot’s technical maturity and construction innovativeness,” said Adam Kukla, mentor of the team, as quoted in a press release.
