HKUST Robotics Team has been awarded First Runner-Up, the Special Award by Nagase Brothers Inc. and Best Presentation Award in the ABU Robocon Festival 2020.

Panel judges had given comments to the awardees.

FIRST RUNNER-UP OF THE ABU ROBOCON FESTIVAL 2020

"Congratulations for HKUST. Thank you for your hard work and great work. Your robot is the fastest in the competition and very impressive. We would like to see your future study about robotics and wish to see you in next year Robocon competition."

THE SPECIAL AWARD BY NAGASE BROTHERS INC.

"The agility of your robot showing is excellent. The acceleration and deceleration are really quick and very exciting. But at the same time in contrast, the catching of the rugby ball is very soft and gentle. That contrast is excellent. More than that, the three-ball automatic kicker setting is great for the equation.”

BEST PRESENTATION AWARD

“The best presentation Award was selected by the voting from all the participant teams in ABU Robocon Festival 2020. The presentation was superb. It was a really futuristic presentation. The presentation was wonderful. The 3-ball kicker and the speed of the robot are impressive. The team videos are also very good. We really enjoy it.”
