Let's get Lynfield College Robotics on the world stage
Please help Lynfield College Robotics team get to the VEX Robotics World Championships in Texas, USA!
Lynfield, Auckland
Lynfield College Robotics Team 2915E has spent the past year designing, building, and programming their robots for the 2024-2025 National Championships, dedicating countless hours after school, at scrimmages, and even during holidays to perfect them.
In February 2025, Team 2915E competed against 70+ NZ teams at the VEX Robotics National Championships, securing back-to-back titles! Now, they have the incredible chance to represent New Zealand at the 2025 VEX Robotics World Championship in Texas, May 6-8th.
But they need your help. Your support will cover travel and competition costs, bringing them closer to the world stage. Every contribution counts. Thank you for being part of their journey!
VEX Robotics NZ is one of the biggest STEM competitions, helping shape the country's future engineers and technologists.

Team 2915E consists of four Year 12 students: Sohail (design & building), Harry (coding & driver), Rio (former driver, now coach), and Markus (records & competition management). Formed in 2023, Rio and Markus were part of the Waikōwhai Intermediate robotics team, winning the Judges' Award at the 2020 VEX IQ Nationals. Upon entering high school, their talents, combined with brilliant Sohail’s design and exceptional Harry’s coding, created a strong, high-performing team. Without an adult supervisor, they independently strategize, make decisions, and compete, each contributing their unique strengths.
