On 22 April the Daugavpils stage of the Latvian Robotics Championship took place, which this season was the penultimate one – the 5th stage!
More than 200 robot builders with almost 250 robots took part in the Daugavpils competition.
The PRK team was the largest, both in the number of participants and in the number of robots entered. Our team was represented by Laimonis Kokins, Anastasija Krohmaļuka, Katrīna Jaundzema, Jānis Bečs, Ritvars Vjakse, Patrīcija Reščenko, Mārtiņš Madelāns, Mārtiņš Ulpe, Markuss Martinkus, Vladimirs Birjukovs, Andrejs Gžibovskis, Ričards Kižlo, Kristers Šņepsts, Jānis Bērzinieks, Gustavs Briška, Gabriels Briška, Aldis Buks. Diligent work was done during the season, which also produced good results.

The 2×2 Sumo event is outside the events counted in the championship’s overall standings, but it is a very exciting competition for pupils and an interesting one for spectators. Jānis Bērzinieks and Gustavs Briška in a tense fight won 3rd place!
Thank you to all the helpers and robot builders for the work and time they put in!
We wish them success at the final stage of the season in Riga – RTU.
