From the 20th to 22nd of April, Nanyang Infocomm Club participated in Robocup 2018 Singapore Open at the Singapore Science Centre. Robocup is an annual competition in which teams build and program their own robots to compete with robots from other schools. This year, teams from Nanyang Girls’ High excelled in the competition and qualified for the world finals in Montreal, Canada.

In Robocup Soccer, teams build and program two robots to play soccer against the opposing team’s robots. 2 Nanyang teams participated in the lightweight category and came in second and third place, respectively.

As for the open category, our team came in first place which qualified the girls for the finals on the international stage. In the finals, our CCA’s team spirit was really strong.

“I’m thankful that our hard work has come to fruition, and I have also learnt much not only from teams from our school, but also teams from other school.” – Peck Chin Yun (Heavyweight Soccer category)
