The Robocon sub-team of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) Robotics Team was crowned champion in the Robocon 2017 Hong Kong Contest, which is their 8th time since the competition was launched in 2004. The team will represent Hong Kong to participate in ABU Robocon 2017 which will take place in Tokyo, Japan on August 27.

Held on June 18 at Hong Kong Science Park, the Hong Kong contest attracted 12 teams from six tertiary institutions. Each institution sent two teams and the “Fiery Dragon” team of HKUST was named champion. The theme of this year’s competition is “The Landing Disc”. Each team needs to build a robot to throw flying discs at specific spots on the game field within time limit to win the game.

The multicultural Robocon team was formed by 28 undergraduates, including eight non-local students. A majority come from the School of Engineering and some from Interdisciplinary Programs Office. It is a young team of mostly Year 1 and Year 2 students and with the most female students ever.
