The trio of student teams saw success in the mobile robotics category in the competition which is part of The Skills Show.
Middlesex students Meliha Beglerovic and Mehnaz Mahaboob secured gold, Eva Blessing Onyeulo and Joslyn West won silver, and Luke Bennett and Mohd Fadzli Bin Zainal Abidin picked up the bronze.
