Thirty-two strong teams are brainstorming their best tactics to build a
“Green planet” at the final round of the 2013 Robocon Vietnam which is
underway in central Da Nang city.
Beating 180
others from 45 universities, colleges and vocational training schools
nationwide, these teams will compete for a trophy and a berth at the
Asian-Pacific Robot Contest (ABU Robocon) which is scheduled for August
this year in Vietnam.
This year’s contest
sends out a message of preserving the green on earth, promoting the role
of each country as well as each individual in building a green world
for all.
Apart from the widely-acclaimed teams, like
Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Hanoi University of
Technology, new faces such as Hai Duong University, People’s
Police University of Technology and Logistics and Hanoi Industrial
Vocational College will promisingly heat up this year’s game.
On the sidelines of the competition, there is 2013 Robocon
Tech-show, which aims to stimulate students to create highly practical
hi-tech products.
Robocon Vietnam 2013, the 12th of its kind, is co-organised by the Toyota Motors Vietnam and
Vietnam Television. It will close on May 12.
