GUARD | Griffith University Advanced Robotics Development

✨ Celebrating Our Achievements at the Student Guild Awards Night! ✨ Last week, the Griffith University Advanced Robotics Club (GUARD) had the honor of attending the Student Guild Awards Night, where we were recognized as Runner-Up for "Arts, Hobbies, and Recreation Club of the Year" and "Small Club of the Year"! These achievements reflect the incredible dedication, creativity, and teamwork of our amazing members. Your passion and hard work have been truly inspiring, and we couldn't be prouder of what we've accomplished together this year. 💪🤖 A huge thank you to the Student Guild for their continued support and for creating opportunities that allow clubs like ours to thrive. Your encouragement means the world to us! Now, we’re gearing up for our next big challenge—the VEX U National Competition in Sydney! We’re excited to push the boundaries of innovation and teamwork as we represent Griffith University on a national stage. 🚀 #GUARD #GriffithUniversity #StudentGuildAwards #vexU #teamwork #RoboticsClub

🚀 GUARD at the Queensland VEX Robotics Competitions! 🤖 Last weekend, GUARD had the privilege of volunteering at the Queensland VEX Robotics Competitions held at Caningeraba State School. Across Saturday and Sunday, our club helped host both the VEX IQ Competition for primary and middle school students and the V5RC Competition for middle/high school students. It was incredible to see the creativity, teamwork, and engineering skills these young minds brought to the table. The future of robotics and engineering is in great hands! A huge congratulations to all the teams who participated, and a special thank you to our amazing club members for their dedication and hard work in making this event a success! #GUARD #VEXRobotics #STEM #Engineering #FutureEngineers #Teamwork #Inspiration

Yesterday we held an End of the Trimester Pizza Party 🍕 to both celebrate the end of trimester 2 exams and also prepare for our upcoming nationals competition! 🥳 It was great to many of our members attend and help with the preparations. Our new meeting times have been allocated to Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from 11am-6pm at G06_1.22 ICT Computer Lab. 😄 #GriffithClub #Robotics #Achievements #Teamwork #JoinUsNow #ClubMeeting

🤖🌍 Amazing Day at the Queensland World Science Festival, Ipswich! 🌟 It's been an honour for our team at GUARD to showcase our VEX robots to enthusiastic kids and adults across the two days. 🚀 The delight on the faces of these young minds as they engaged with our robots and 3D printers truly warmed our hearts, as they bombarded us with curious questions and eagerly took the reins driving the robots themselves. 💡🔧 Thank you to every single member of our club who contributed to the success of this event. Your dedication, hard work, and passion for inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers are what made this event possible. 🙌🤝 #WorldScienceFestival #STEMeducation #RoboticsInnovation #InspiringYoungMinds

Thank you to everyone who visited our stall at the Club Sign-On event yesterday! 🔥 It was a pleasure talking to members and meeting new people. We hope you had a blast driving our Over Under robots and can't wait to welcome you at our regular weekly meetings! Your enthusiasm makes our club thrive! A special shout-out to Jaden Gibbons, Ian Tan, Tara Willis, Aydar Zarifullin , and KJ Budai for their invaluable support in setting up, hosting, and packing up the stall. Teamwork makes it all possible! #GriffithClub #CommunityEngagement #Robotics #Achievements #ThankYou #Teamwork #LinkedlnPost #JoinUsNow #ClubMeeting

Last week, we had our first official meeting for the year! 🔥 We discussed our club activities, interstate competitions and our values as GUARD. It was great to see a keen interest in robotics with such a diverse group of students. We are looking forward to providing similar and more exciting events in the future! 😎 #griffithuniversity #griffithclubs #robotics

Last month GUARD competed at the Australian VEXU National Championship in Adelaide, competing fiercely against other university teams showcasing the results of a year's worth of dedication and teamwork. 🌐🔧 The two robots we engineered this year allowed us to take home the Design and Tournament Finalist Awards, while being incredibly close to winning Tournament Champion (Congratulations to EMU5 - VEX U Robotics at UniMelb). 🏅💪 A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated team for their hard work and commitment, Daniel Ricardo at the QRCA, as well as to the Griffith University Gold Coast Student Guild for their unwavering support throughout our journey. Your commitment to GUARD has been instrumental, and we're grateful to have partners like you by our side. 🤝🙌 We also wanted to thank the Creator Academy for featuring one of our robots on their Youtube channel. We hope to appear in Dallas, Texas next April for the VEXU World Championship where we are striving to achieve even higher results than last year! 🚀💙 #⁠vexU #robotics #innovation #⁠design #university #engineering #⁠programming
