What is ABU Robocon?
It is an annual handmade robot contest, which started in 2002 for university, college and polytechnic students in the Asia-Pacific region. Under a common set of rules, participants compete with their peers from other countries with hand made robots. This contest aims to create friendship among young people with similar interests, as well as help advance engineering and broadcasting technologies in the region. This event will broadcast in your country/region through an ABU member broadcaster. The contest is hosted by an ABU member broadcaster in different country/region every year.

Who can participate and what should I do?
The contest is targeted for undergraduate students of university/college/polytechnic in the ABU member countries/regions. 1 team represents 1 country/region and your local broadcaster maybe planning a domestic contest.
