During the last two days of the school's work, the children were able to assemble and program a robot for driving along the lane on their own. There is still a lot of work ahead.

After graduating from the IT school, all the robots and the training ground remained in Gagra to continue working and training the guys. The most distinguished students will have the opportunity to participate in the regional qualifying stage of the international robotics competitions RoboCup-Rescue, which will be held in the spring of 2023 in the village of Dombay, Karachay-Cherkess Republic, organized by the Research Institute SFedU. In addition, those who wish will be able to enroll and continue their path in robotics at the College of Vocational Training of the the Institute of Radio Engineering Systems and Control SFedU in the direction of "Mechatronics and mobile robotics".

Now schoolchildren from Gagra and Gagra now have the opportunity to assemble and program robots themselves, learn in practice the structure and functionality of sensors and devices from which you can assemble your own robot.
