Last Friday, June 9th, we enjoyed our yearly team activity and faced educative and sportive challenges, which led to hilarious situations, lots of fun and great team building. We ended our day at one of the Rotterdam’s hotspots, a rooftop on ‘the Markhal,’ watching the most beautiful sunset.
We started in the morning, with four different teams building our own Arduino-powered line follower robots. Holding some key ingredients, we found out that it’s quite a challenge to write a program that sends your robot precisely in the right direction. Of course, for us, the robot’s design was just as important! Before lunch, we had our final.
In the afternoon many of us practiced archery for the first time. After the instructor had taught us the basics with real bows and arrows, all hell broke loose when four teams fought each other in an arrow battle with soft top arrows. Great fun and good team spirit!
