Minos 2025 Contest Results

Following a great day of presentations we had a full day of contests on Sunday 22 June at St Albans High School in Ipswich. Congratulations to everyone that entered robots, we saw some exciting contests with some great times in the drag racing.

For the first time we saw prototypes of the new UKMARS GEMINI robot platform running in contests and successfuly completing the line follower, pursuit, wall follower and maze solving challenges.

We previewed the pursuit challenge which looks very promising as an engaging event and will be running this new event at Megacon in July.

Here are the results for the robots that completed contests (results are only published for entries that succussfully complete a challenge and obtain a run time).
