This month the team visited Cottenham Village College, in Cambridgeshire, to talk about robotics and demonstrate our robots to students at the secondary school. This is the first time we have visited a secondary school to promote robotics, in hope of encouraging greater involvement in FIRST and showing students of a feeder school one of the many options available to them if they choose to come to Hills Road Sixth Form College.
