Professor Golnaz Badkobeh is Head of the Department of Computer Science at City St George's, and was one of the judges of the competition this year.

She reflected on the experience:

Being a part of RoboWars reminded me of the value and importance of fun and friendship as a key part of learning and just how central this is to the core of what it is to be a student. It is through these kinds of efforts and events that friendships are formed. Friendships that can potentially last a lifetime.
I am really proud of our Computer Science and IEEE Robotics societies for creating such a wonderful community where students can participate in high-quality, supportive, but competitive and fun activities.
