Robotics Competition for 6th Class

This is our robot. His name is Swish. He has a long catapult arm which he uses to shoot 3 small green plush balls into one of four targets in the arena. Swish uses a roller at the front to pick up each ball. Each score is worth 2 points. 6th Class were given a robot by VEX IQ which is a robotics company.
