MANILA, Philippines -- The Philippines took home the silver medal at
the recently held World Robot Olympiad 2008 in Yokohama, Japan.

The Philippine team known as “Gracean Whizkids” from Grace Christian
Elementary School beats 21 other schools.

The team is composed of Joseph Aldrin Chua, Edrich Hans Chua and
Dominique Hannah Sy. They were coached by Melanie Tizon and Warren
John Ong Pe.

Their project, dubbed "The G-Tech Robot Engineering a Better World,"
included 12 different types of robots doing various types of
activities to save the environment.

The Open Category required contestants to create robots under the
theme, "Saving the Global Environment."

Teams were judged according to appearance, uniqueness, interactive
behavior, good engineering and stability.

All the robots were made from parts of LEGO toys.

South Korea took the gold medal in the elementary school level for
open category, while Malaysia won bronze medal.

South Korea also won gold medals for the Regular Category in the
Elementary and High School Levels.

The country was also represented in WRO 2008 by Benigno Aquino High
School and the International School of Manila. They took 6th place in
the Open Category in the High School and Elementary categories,
respectively.

This is the first time that the Philippines won a medal in the
Elementary Level Open Category.

The country had won medals in the High School Open Category in
previous years.


Very nice! And where did you steal-and-paste this from, M. Guillen? I'd like to read the original too.
