With a total of 21, Jamaica had its largest delegation to a finals of the World Robot Olympiad so far. People kept asking "21 people for one team!?" and yes, that's how we keep the one love strong. Kudos to the parents and families of Reach Academy for their investment, commitment and excitement.

In 2018, Kingston College (KC) took 2nd place in the U16 section of the WRO Jamaica. Though they were down one member, the two young men banded together and built and programmed their robot to deliver a consistent score. This performance took them through the preliminaries and into the finals as one of the top 3 teams.

In the finals, the KC robotics team continued what was one of the most memorable runs in the inaugural staging of WRO Jamaica. They led after Round 1. They led after Round 2. In the final round, the KC robotics team had victory in sight right up to the final seconds, but had to settle for 2nd place. What will the brave ones do this year?
