Students participating in the contest will also learn to work together as a team with their colleagues from other institutions. The contestant who designs and creates a robot that performs best in the competition will be declared the winner. All the 72 students will attend a 20-day workshop at the Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University prior to the final round which will take place on July 25, 2016 at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center.
