Introduction

RAC was launched in 2016 with a simple goal to bring Robotics and Coding to the Masses in a fun and meaningful way. What started as a small initiative has grown into a nationwide platform that brings together students, teachers, trainers, parents, and even industry partners.

More than a competition, RAC encourages participants to learn through hands-on building, problem-solving, and creativity. The focus is on the journey of learning, not just the final results.

Today, RAC is open to both primary and secondary school students, with tertiary-level categories coming soon to extend learning opportunities to colleges and universities. Currently, RAC features two main categories, rero:micro and CYBORC, each designed to suit different learning levels and experiences.

SDG Theme

SDG 9 focuses on:

Building strong roads, bridges, and internet infrastructure
Creating machines and robots to help humans
Developing new technologies
Encouraging creative ideas and innovation

SDG 9 & Robotics

Robot + Coding = Innovation!
Robots are used in smart factories
Sensors enable automation
Coding allows machines to operate on their own
Technology helps a country become advanced and modern

i. Robotics & Coding Challenge with rero:micro Robot

In this competition, participants learn to program the rero:micro robot through guided lessons and challenges provided in the booklet. Coding is done using the Microsoft MakeCode Editor with block-based programming.

During the competition, teams are given a series of coding tasks arranged from easy to more challenging levels. They must program their rero:micro robot to complete each task successfully in order to progress to the next stage.

ii. CYBORC (Cytron Build Your Own Robot Challenge)

This competition aims to provide students with a platform to showcase their skills in designing and building autonomous robots. The challenge requires robots to follow lines and transport ping pong balls from the loading station to the collection point.

Participants will build and program their robots live on competition day. In addition to technical skills, teams must also strategize their robot's route to achieve the best score.
