Russian teams won prizes at the first International Underwater Robotics Competition "Underwater Biathlon"

All Russian teams went through district and all-Russian competitions, which were organized as part of the NTI Circle Movement project "Engineering Competitions and Competitions in Marine Robotics" with the support of the NTI Foundation. The mentors of the participants were trained at the summer and winter schools specially organized as part of the project.

During the competition in Kazakhstan, the tele-controlled devices of the teams had to go three laps of the underwater track and hit the target with three markers. The best were determined by the final time of the mission, taking into account the accuracy of hitting the targets.

In the younger category, the first place was taken by the team of schoolchildren of the Lyceum No. 176 of Novosibirsk: Daniil Gavrilenko and Elizaveta Chudina (mentor - Svetlana Ryaskina). The second in this category was the team of the Novosibirsk Lyceum No. 22 "Hope of Siberia": Kirill Mashanov, Alexey Mashkov and Bogdan Volkonsky (mentors - Anna Mashkova and Nikolai Mashkov).

In the senior category, the second place was taken by the team of high school students from the Center for the Development of Robotics of Vladivostok: Svyatoslav Chaly, Matvey Korabeinikov, Zakhar Nikolaev, Igor Murzin and Timur Mangliev (mentors - Vadim Sorin and Alexander Omelyanenko).^[1]
