Competing in the RoboMission – Elementary Division, Ateneo de Manila Grade School Robotics varsity members Joaquin Sanchez (6-Pignatelli) and Ynigo Tipan (6-Claver) emerged as finalists in the 24th Philippine Robotics Olympiad (PRO), held on 21-22 July 2025 at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall. This marks AGS’s first-ever participation in this prestigious national-level event.
Their outstanding performance is a testament to their hard work, creativity, and passion for robotics and innovation.
The RoboMission elementary category featured 40 competing teams, each undergoing a series of intense challenges and technical evaluations. The tandem of Joaquin and Ynigo was among the 21 teams that advanced to the finals, proudly securing a spot among the top-ranking participants.
The Philippine Robotics Olympiad is a nationwide competition and the official qualifying event for the World Robot Olympiad (WRO). It brings together young innovators and problem-solvers from across the country to showcase their skills in building and programming autonomous robots.
AGS extends its heartfelt appreciation to its Robotics Technicians, Mr Mark Lim and Mr Kenneth Aborde, and our teacher-coaches, Mr Luis Aenlle and Mr Cristian Ballena, as well as Mrs Rozelle Sanchez, whose guidance and dedication were instrumental in preparing our students for this remarkable achievement.
