The group representing Team SVG, dubbed as “SVG Robotics”, places SVG on the map at the FIRST Global Robotics competition in Geneva, Switzerland which concluded on Sunday, October 16th.
The team’s greatest achievement at the competition was the attainment of the FIRST Global Safety Award for exemplifying safe engineering design of the robot, safe engineering practices as well as safe gameplay during the ranking matches.
At the global setting, team SVG ranked 80th out of 164 countries who attended the competition and 6th out of 12 Caribbean Countries, ranking above engineering giant countries the likes of The Netherlands, Canada and United Arab Emirates.
The team mentors, Brodlon Daniel and Deaney Gellizeau are very elated for the opportunity to nurture the students to represent their country at the multinational level and hope to further their accomplishments upon their return, to propel SVG as a pioneer for STEM and Robotics in the Caribbean.
