IVE Engineering’s Team, Autobots Fighter, was named the second runner-up in the Robocon Hong Kong Contest 2020 jointly organised by the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation and the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers.
In accordance with the theme “Robo Rugby 7s”, students had to devise two robots that could play a game of rugby. The robots had to be able to complete various tasks that a rugby player might, including dribbling, passing and battling to win points. The competition attracted nine teams from six tertiary institutions to compete for the honour. With their outstanding problem-solving abilities and their drive to succeed, the team beat students from the University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and City University of Hong Kong to take the award home.
The competition highlights will be broadcasted on RTHK TV31 on 18 October 2020 (Sun) from 9:30pm – 10:30pm.
