As Malaysia embarks on a new lockdown experience, we in St Xavier’s received the very welcome news that 3 students from SXI bagged all top three places in the senior category of the Robomania 2020 contest. This competition was listed in the 2019 Guinness World Book of Records as the largest robotics competition and is organized by Tech Dome Penang. It aims at promoting interest in robot piloting skills. Our three boys - Joel Ho Han Tzen, 14; Gan Zhong Wen, 14; and Mah Jon Ru, 14 - competed against 158 other students from 31 different schools. Meanwhile, Darren Foo Guo Wei of St Xavier’s Primary School, emerged in second place in the junior category. Special thanks and congratulations to our boys, their parents, the teacher-in-charge Mdm Ten and our dedicated instructors. (Text & Photos: Br. Jason Blaikie FSC)
