The span met at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff, where they are both study show and outspoken studies.
Their outspoken trainer calm a square is to competition, that was open to under-25s.
Ms Robinson said: "We didn't obtain the square until June, and submissions had to be in by 1 August, and to be able to validate is to contest you had to win two local eisteddfods.
"One was up by Meilir and the other down by me.
"When you were in college together, it was fine, but since you live so far apart, putting in service was not easy.
"We practised on the phone, and over Skype.
"Thank heavens for Skype. We're over the moon."
The thespian mentioned that a of the local eisteddfodau they won was nearby her home, and had faced a seven-hour sight journey home.
