Robotics Champions at the FRC Duel Down Under

 

The Barker Redbacks made history once again by winning the Australia’s FRC National Competition – Duel Down Under - for the ninth time. 

Held at Macquarie University in Sydney, the event brought together leading robotics teams from across the country where students could collaborate and compete showcasing their solutions.

This year’s event was especially exciting for our Year 9 students, who got their first real taste of a FRC Competition. The experience gave them a valuable introduction to the dynamics of our Senior School Robotics Program, helped them build teamwork skills, and ignited their enthusiasm for future seasons.

Throughout the weekend, students took part in thrilling matches, formed strategic alliances, and solve real-time problems —all while connecting with like-minded peers from other schools.

Congratulations to the Redbacks on another well-deserved victory, and to the Greybacks for their strong semifinal performance! We’re proud of all our students and excited to see what lies ahead.
