A total of 39 teams were able to participate with the support of Edutus University, including domestic teams.
The goal of the World Robot Olympiad, an international robot building and programming competition, is to bring young people closer to the world of natural sciences and encourage them to pursue careers in engineering and IT.
During the preparation for the challenges, which are renewed every year, the teams of 2-3 people work together under the guidance of their team leaders, but in the competitions they can only rely on their own skills.
