Teams from seven schools in the region gained places at the 2010 Central West RoboCup Junior Challenge robotics competition staged at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst on Friday 25 June. The coordinator of the event Mr Allen Benter, a PhD student and researcher at the CSU Centre for Research in Complex Systems (CRiCS) in Bathurst, said, “The event was an overwhelming success. The organisers and judges were delighted by the level of enthusiasm of students and their teachers, and with the high standard of entries. This is a growing event that will help motivate future computer scientists and robotics engineers, and we thank all the students and teachers who put in so much effort.” Overall, Dubbo Christian School was most successful, with three of its teams taking the top three places in the Senior Dance category. All schools that won a category will have the opportunity to represent the region at the NSW titles to be held in Sydney on Thursday 26 and Friday 27 August.
