Brampton-based world robotics champions KraftWerx recently returned home triumphant after winning four awards at this year’s VEX Robotics World Championship.

Now, the community will have a chance to watch firsthand how the team took on some top contenders as the championship airs on CBS Sports, June 11 from 2 to 3 p.m.

The Brampton team included four talented youngsters: Jaskaran Rai, 12, Tejas Wilkhoo, 13, Sahaej Arora, 13, and Aamodit Acharya, 13, all of who showed off competencies around innovation, programming, design and team work.

Saranjit Wilkhoo, a Brampton parent, mentored the four students. He taught them the basics of mechanics such as friction, centre of gravity, simple and compound machines, mechanical advantage, types of gears, pulleys, and more and nurtured their ideas.

“Every time these youngsters came back from a competition they would regroup and come up with ways to improve their strategy,” said Wilkhoo, a mechanical engineer. “They are always on the path of continuous improvement. The VEX Robotics World Championships are really fierce, but these kids stood together.”

The four Brampton mates all share a common love for science; Wilkhoo said adding he founded the robotics club in 2015 as a way to get his son Tejas’ focus off mindless computer games.

KraftWerx won four awards: teamwork champion, skills champion, division champion and the Amaze Award presented to a team that has built an amazing high-scoring robot that’s high quality and is programmed to perform consistently.

The one-hour special on CBS Sports will also feature a Vancouver team Ten Ton Robotics and Toronto VEX Robotics World Championship finalists, Shocks.

The VEX Robotics World Championship was held April 20 to 25 in Louisville, at the Kentucky Exposition Center in the U.S. and hosted 1,400 teams from more than 30 countries.

The event celebrated science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education and work of each student-led robotics team.
