Robotic competitions are effective tools for getting students interested in\nscience and technology. However, because of the high equipment costs and\nsubstantial training involved, Myanmar students often to do not get exposure to\nsuch programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myanmar Robotians\nCompetition<\/a> aims to address this problem by creating an opportunity for\nyoung engineers interested in robotics. The goals of the competition are to\nexcite students (as well as the general public) who are not familiar with\nrobotics, encourage students to pursuer further education in robotics and\nallied disciplines, and provide students with real-world skills and experience\nthat they can use in various aspects of their educational and\nprofessional lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2019 edition of the Myanmar Robotians Competition was organised by the\nFederation of Myanmar Engineering Societies and Hubtive Technology on December\n21, 2019. The contest had two events \u2013 Senior Competition (for university\nstudents) and Junior Competition (for students under the age of 19 years). This\nyear, the Senior Competition saw participation from 8 teams from 8 universities\nall over Myanmar, while 15 teams participated in the Junior Competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UCS(Sittway) was represented at the contest by a team in the Senior\nCompetition (Team UCS(Sittway) \u2013 Maung Maung Oo, Aung Si Thu, Thet Paing Soe,\nThan Htay Aung, Htay Than Aung). MIIT put in a stellar performance. Team UCS(Sittway)\nwon the Best Design Award in the Senior Competition. Our heartiest\ncongratulations to all the winners!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such, the performance of these students is worthy of praise and\ncommendation. We hope that the success of these teams will inculcate a healthy\nculture at UCS(Sittway) and inspire other students to take up robotics not only\nas a hobby but as a viable profession as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
