OM1, cardboard filter and a wobbly video tripod!

Made it to Spain for totality. Not quite @AJamesMcCarthy but pleased to capture some corona and prominences. Quite the experience. And turned out to be a good omen for son‘s results too. #grateful

Here we go again! @RadleyCollege @RadleyCoCurr #vexworlds #omgrobots #vexrobotics

Quite a lot of Skye feels like Mordor, only with better food…

Finally a peek of Mercury. Perfect gap in the hedge 😄

In a lovely moment, Ibex post a 26 skills to place 5th with the skills queue getting shorter and shorter. A great testament to their skill and a super contrast to a difficult qualification session. Two teams in top 5 national skills. 👌

And finally on day one, despite some rotten luck in quals, Ibex are 5th in Skills with a super driven round of 46 - a season best for them.

Other teams having a great time - Ringo are sitting in 6th. A great place for an alliance.

For reasons unbeknownst to me, Icarus have arrived in their lab coats. Here, they are playing doctor on a broken intake. Not hindering too much. Top of skills today and sitting in 7th overall in quals. Will be an interesting day tomorrow.

Drivers meeting time. UK Vex Nationals 2025 Three Radley teams, inspected and raring to go. A huge 12 match qualification session, over two days follows. Let’s go! 🧵naturally… @RadleyCollege @VEXRoboticsUK #omgrobots

Amazing fun getting back into Vex IQ - running a regional today for Pegasus School in Oxford. Always amazed at the youngest engineers, and so proud of our partnership ES teams competing among the middle schoolers. #omgrobots @RadleyLinks @VEXRoboticsUK
