In the UK, the League is supported by the IET and delivered by teams of volunteers across the country. A local team, the Cambourne Electronics and Robotics Club (CERC) with over 6500 students, has an impressive record in the competition and has won the Cambridgeshire heat of the annual event 5 times.
