A team of teenagers from Bath have been crowned UK winners in a Lego robotics competition and are now preparing to represent their country at world championships in America.
The group of seven boys and girls, who are all aged between 11 and 15 and are pupils at Ralph Allen School and King Edward's School, designed and built their own robot, which was capable of performing a range of complex tasks in live competition.
The team, who were called Untitled 1 and made up of Tom Mason, Freya Alder, Danielle Workman, Claudia Moorhouse, Rafi Borries Gruber, Max Workman and Joe Mason, also had to design a product to solve a problem experienced by elderly people.
They worked with pensioners and experts from the Bath Institute of Medical Engineering, Rolls Royce and Age UK, to invent a doorbell which scans fingerprints and can tell residents who is at the door.
