We had the most amazing session today with John from Robot Wars - he was actually part of the team who built Matilda and Ripper from the TV series! He taught us about what is needed to build a working robot and the additions for a fighting robot. He also talked us through the differences between the robots we were building and the ones they build for the TV show.

We had a lot of fun designing, making, testing and fighting our robots. We learnt a lot through trial and error, using a range of skills to determine why something had gone wrong and how to fix it. Fighting them in the sumo arena (trying to push the opponent off the circle) was a great finale to test out our hard work.
