In the finals, they faced the Alliance of Innovatrix (from Malmesbury) and Galactic Einsteins (from Worcester),\u201d explained Buckle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first of the final matches, Texpand led their alliance to a landslide victory and a South African national record scoring 216 to 80 points. This record proves that the Texpand robot is now on par with many of the best robots in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe atmosphere at the venue was electric as the official score was displayed on the screen. The Texpand team was overjoyed at being crowned SA champions for the second year in a row, and now they have been invited to compete in the World Championships in Houston, Texas, along with Creepy Crawlies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Texas, the 200 top teams in the world will battle it out to be named the World Champion. With a few upgrades that Texpand plans to make over the next two months, they believe that they will be one of the top teams internationally and stand a chance to make it into the divisional finals at the World Championships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow Texpand faces the challenge of raising support to make that dream of representing South Africa on the world stage possible. The invitation to participate comes with no financial support from the competition, and so Texpand is responsible for raising the necessary funds to cover the entrance fee of R40 000, plus accommodation and flights (around R35 000 per person) to take their place in the competition in mid-April,\u201d the robotics coach continued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To send a minimum team of four members and one coach, Texpand needs to raise a total of about R215 000. \u201cTo this end, Texpand is inviting corporate companies and individuals to sponsor the team to make South Africa proud. Meanwhile, they are still looking for a lead sponsor to invest in both the teams\u2019 World Championship goal and the outreach vision in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are also calling on fellow Capetonians and South Africans to get behind them to make this dream come true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those wishing to partner with them can visit the crowd funding link
