RoboCup Regionals 2025-26

The Robotics Department is proud to share the outstanding accomplishments of our students at the recent RoboCup Junior competition. This year has been a landmark moment for our school, with 7 out of our 9 participating teams qualifying for the
National Round. This remarkable achievement highlights the depth of talent, commitment, and technical mastery our students have developed through consistent training and a strong STEM culture.
A major highlight of the event was the exceptional performance in the RoboSoccer category, where our team secured 1st Place. The winning team, Navika Goenka, Shivansh Agarwal, and Avyaan Gambhir designed a highly coordinated and autonomous soccer robot capable of agile movement, accurate ball-tracking, and strategic defence. Their ability to adapt their gameplay in response to match dynamics, combined with their strong programming logic and mechanical design, sets them apart from the competition. Their rigorous preparation, including countless hours of testing, tuning, and refining both hardware and code, was clearly reflected
in their flawless performance. 

Another top honour - 1st Place, was secured in the Rescue Line category. The winning team: Arhaan Rai Pratap, Daanish Verma, Daksh Vohra, and Sachit Venkatesh built an autonomous robot designed to navigate challenging line paths, overcome obstacles, and identify simulated victims with precision. The team's success can be attributed to their advanced sensor integration, thoughtful algorithm design, and the ability to iterate and improve their robot through repeated trials. Their resilience during challenging rounds and disciplined approach to engineering earned them well-deserved recognition.
 

The overall achievement of 7 teams qualifying for the Nationals reflects the strength and maturity of our robotics program. Students across all categories: Soccer, Rescue, and Maze showed initiative, creativity, and a deep understanding of robotics concepts. Guided by structured mentoring sessions, collaborative peer learning, and a culture of experimentation, each team displayed a growth mindset and strong problem-solving abilities.
 

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all students for their exemplary participation, teamwork, and unwavering enthusiasm. Their achievements demonstrate not only technical excellence but also strong character, collaboration, and perseverance. As our teams prepare to represent the school at the National Round, we are confident in their ability to innovate, perform, and continue making us proud.
The Robotics Department remains committed to nurturing these young engineers and supporting them as they advance to the next stage of competition.
