The Armenian team from the Tumo Center for Creative Technologies won a bronze medal at the First Global robotics competition in Washington.

Team Europe took the gold, while the Polish team took silver at the event, with more than 150 countries represented in it.

The robots all the teams in the competition created were designed with the same kit of parts and do the same task: pick up and distinguish between blue and orange balls.

To score points, teams deposited the blue balls, which represented water, and the orange balls, which represented contaminants, into different locations. Each three-nation alliance competed head-to-head in 2½ minute games.
