Our Story

Beginning in 2016, the team participated in RCJ Egypt rescue line for 3 consecutive years; In 2017, the team was the second team worldwide (as far as we know) to use Image processing techniques in the rescue line category. Our mindset is that we always choose the path that will push us to develop more technical and non-technical skills, rather than just choosing the easiest path to win the competition.
In 2018, the team decided to participate in the Open-Weight Soccer Category and to train 3 middle school students to continue the previously started work in the rescue line category. As a result, the second generation of the pythons was formed. The third generation was formed later in 2023.
