A NEW record time was set at the TP-organised annual
Singapore Robo Grand Prix. The result reflected the
ever-improving standards in the highly competitive event.
Woodlands Ring Secondary School, which successfully
defended its Premier League category crown, improved
its timing from last year’s 36.96 sec to 32.38
sec. 145 teams from 50 secondary schools, JCs and ITEs
took part in the event which was held at Funan DigitaLife
Mall from Feb 3 to 5.
Participants had to design their own robots, known
as Robo-Racers, which were then raced along a track.
The event is a tripartite collaboration, with TP providing
the software and training the participants in robotic
technology; Alpha Innovations Pte Ltd providing the
Robo-Racers; and CapitaLand Ltd sponsoring the venue.
