Bristol Teens Build UK’s Top Robot

Two Bristol teens, Adil and Kacper, stunned the robotics world by winning UK’s top robot title and placing sixth at the global VEX Championships—making them the only state school team from the UK to even qualify. Built from scratch over a thousand hours, their robot “Empire” dominated challenges with speed and durability, earning them the “most consistent machine” award. Starting with Lego as kids, they funded the project with £20k, crushed nine regional competitions in four months, and now aim to mentor the next generation—proving grit, innovation, and teamwork can turn dreams into world-class wins.
