OMG! Just 24 hours until we leave NZ for 12 days as we battle it out in the US of A!! At the competition there will be 99 (that's right - 99!) other teams competing against us for the title. Have a look at the video below that explains what we are trying to do:

Yay! We just got an intro video explaining what Nakibots does, who we are and what we try to achieve. It is posted on YouTube, and is viewable by everyone. It is also on our 'About' page or view it below. WE only have three days to go, so the pressure is on! We just finished a load of modifications, including autonomous programming, scoop modifications and more. We only have 4 days until we leave (14th), so we are all really nervous - but also excited. Our programming is going well, and we are scoring about 21 points per dump.
Today, we got interviewed by the Taranaki Daily news! A photographer came and took photos, and the journalist is coming later. We are leaving on the 14th - only a week to go. Fingers crossed!!
OMG! Our Givealittle page has reached a grand total of (on the day this was posted) $880.00 NZD!This is AMAZING - thank you SO much for your generous donations! This will help us immensely and you know it is going to a great cause. I have been practicing every day and we are constantly finding something to change or improve on the robot or in the programming.
Thank you SO much! Conor from the Nakibots Woohoo! New high score!! We just developed and tested a robot that scores 84 POINTS in ONE MINUTE!! Yipee!
Woohoo! We are going to Kentucky in April - but then there comes the issue of MONEY. If you could donate, support or in general assist us in any way PLEASE tell us!!!
On the 12th of December, 2015, the Nakibots team went to Palmerston North to compete in the VEX IQ Challenge Bank Shot. It was about 5 hours long, and after 85 qualifying matches and 10 finals, our third robot (2518C) won the Teamwork Champion Award! That means ALL the Nakibots get to go to America for the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS!!
