Three Maldivian students have travelled to Mexico to take part in a global robotics competition.
Their creation, Rani Kanbaa (queen lady), is remote-controlled and can carry and transport objects. It was built in two months with equipment provided by tournament organisers FIRST Global.
The robot was made by 15-year-old Yameen Ushau from Majeedhiyya School, 15-year-old Ridha Anees of Jamaaludhin School and 17-year-old Hassan Nasih from Center for Higher Secondary Education.
They come from Eydhafushi and are accompanied by Maldives National University lecturer Maumoona Abdulla.
