Gagarin» Vladimir Nekhoroshev.

I was a weapons pilot during the battle. I pressed certain buttons at the right time to use the tools, and also to restart the robot if it stopped,” Vladimir Nekhoroshev spoke about his task.

Emergency additional purchase of parts, modification of the design right on the site, sparks and short circuits — all this accompanied the team for three intense days. The residents of Sevastopol walked towards their goal, and the robot entered the ring.

We found ourselves in such a technical community that it made us happy just to be in this atmosphere. Everyone is very sociable, no one hides anything, you can approach any robot, touch it, see who has done what and how. Everyone communicates and shares secrets about all stages of assembling and designing the robotsaid teacher Daria Medvedeva.
