National First Prize and Top Honor: Entel’s VEX Robotics Teams Sweep Major Awards

Hangzhou Entel Foreign Language School’s VEX Robotics teams have delivered outstanding performances at two high-level competitions, bringing home a series of top accolades. At the 2026 Yangtze River Delta VEX Robotics Elite Competition held in Shanghai, Team 3359A won First Prize in the high school division and advanced to the Final Four among 59 competing teams. Earlier, at the 2026 World Robot Contest East China Championship in Quzhou, Team 3359C received the Excellence Award — the event’s highest honor — alongside a Second Prize for their exceptional robot design and overall performance. Teams 3359B and 3359A earned Second and Third Prizes respectively. Students shared that the intensive summer training, late-night debugging, and pressure-filled matches taught them teamwork, resilience, and the power of perseverance. “There is no shortcut to success — only persistence and the pursuit of excellence,” one student reflected.
