The Ayb High School's robotics team, sponsored by VivaCell-MTS, had a
successful participation at the Fire Fighting Home Robot Contest held
on April 6-7 at Trinity College in Hartford, CT, USA. The Aybstorm
robot prepared by the students and their teacher Vazgen Gabrielyan
received a special prize at the contest.
As the Partner of Ayb Senior School and sponsor of robotics project,
VivaCell-MTS allocated AMD 14 million of financial assistance for the
creation of robotics laboratory, its equipment, continuous operation
and further development, as well as for participation of the robotics
team in local and international competitions.
"VivaCell-MTS extends hands to AYB Senior School in line with its
commitment to encouraging the development of robotics in Armenia. As a
responsible corporate citizen, VivaCell-MTS supports young peoples'
interest in the sphere of robotics, which can positively affect the
development of related spheres of industry in Armenia and help
developing the country's competitiveness in international markets.
VivaCell-MTS is present wherever there is room to development,
wherever we can encourage our people's intellectual excellence,"
VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian said.
The Fire Fighting Home Robot Contest organized by Trinity College is
celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and is considered one of
the premiere robotics events in the world. The contest includes two
categories - Fire Fighting Home Robot and RoboWaiter. Over 130 teams
from 7 countries took part this year, Armenia being represented for
the first time by Ayb's small team. The Ayb robotics team competed in
the high school age group, which included around 30 participants. The
team successfully passed the first test thanks to a well-prepared
poster depicting the robot's capabilities, and then faced the jury.
The fact that the Ayb team managed to fight its way into the top eight
in the group alongside teams from countries like Israel and China is
truly a remarkable achievement.
