Yaya Lu is a primary school student. Her claim to fame? She was the only primary school student to compete in the Australian RoboCup Championships (well, in the "Premier Rescue" challenge anyhow). And she won, beating out four high-school teams.
She’ll be going to China later this year to represent Australia in the World RoboCup Junior International next month (July).
Yaya, who speaks Mandarin and Shanghainese as well as English, is getting her robots revved up for a simulated rescue mission at the competition in Suzhou.
Competitors will be asked to put their robots through a three-room course, which involves retrieving a victim from a swamp.
"You need a lot of patience and sometimes it’s hard to get the robot to do what you want it to do," Yaya said.

I just want to say, Eric, thanks for calling me an evil dictator or a robot genius. It’s also kind of you to put me on this website, and it’s an honour to be competing in robotics at this stage.
Yours Sincerely,
Yaya Lu
