At GoodCore, we believe in empowering the next generation of innovators. That\u2019s why we were proud to sponsor Wilson\u2019s School robotics team, <\/span>Wilsobotics<\/b><\/a>, as they took on the <\/span>FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC)<\/b><\/a>, a prestigious global robotics competition for students.<\/span><\/p>\n

A team on the rise<\/span><\/h2>\n

Formed just last year in 2024, Wilsobotics has quickly made a name for itself in the world of student robotics. With determination, teamwork, and impressive technical skills, the team soared through the FTC regional qualifiers, securing a spot at the UK National Championships.<\/span><\/p>\n

Making waves at the nationals<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The UK National Championships brought together the 64 best teams from across the country. Competing against the very best, Wilsobotics gave an impressive performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

The team secured the Think Award, recognising their engineering process and innovative approach, and went on to become finalists for the prestigious Inspire Award, which celebrates teams that best embody the spirit of FTC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They capped off their incredible run by finishing as national finalists, placing among the top four teams in the UK, and only narrowly missing out on the championship title.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why GoodCore got involved<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At GoodCore Software, supporting initiatives like Wilsobotics is more than just sponsorship; it\u2019s a reflection of our values. We are passionate about giving back to the tech community and helping nurture young talent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seeing the drive, creativity, and self-organisation of the Wilsobotics team has been truly inspiring. Their journey shows exactly what\u2019s possible when bright minds are given the right opportunities, tools, and encouragement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking ahead<\/span><\/h2>\n

While this year\u2019s competition has wrapped up, the Wilsobotics journey is far from over. The team is continuing to refine and improve their robot, gearing up for the 2025\u201326 FTC season.<\/span><\/p>\n

With their proven track record of innovation and teamwork, they\u2019re ready to take on new challenges, and we can\u2019t wait to see where their creativity takes them next.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
