An advanced robotics competition. More than 150 contestants and mentors participated and the atmosphere at the event was fantastic.
This year’s theme was “Information Age” and participants programmed robots to use telecommunication technologies, recycle e-waste, and send information packets over the Internet. By simulating these actions, contestants were in teams tackling tasks with the aim of making robots faster and more accurate.

It’s show time for robots!

Themed “Information Era”, as other contests of WER 2018 season, the arena contest is in the form of “4+3” —— 4 preset tasks and 3 additional tasks. 3 additional tasks were announced before the contest started on site, which revealed the principle of “It’s a contest among students rather than teachers”.
