The students of the “Volta” pole of Borgonovo and Castelsangiovanni, for three years have won the national robotics Olympics organized by the Ministry of Education (and merit), beating the fierce competition of peers from the four corners of Italy.

In Genoa where the finals of the competition for high schools in the country were held, on Thursday 11 May, both teams of the technical institute of Borgonovo were admitted to the final, and the Black-Hole team won, climbing on the top step of the podium with a prototype of robot that serves to play: “Musical Spider” is a project and a prototype that allows everyone, and in particular the disabled, to play the piano. On a motorized lectern the score slides and an automatic system detects and recognizes the notes, two “spiders” – hence the name musical spider – positioned on the hands and motorized move the fingers and allow you to play the song.
