Teams compete in the competition
This year, the competing teams were divided into two categories: university and high school. Each team used either a racing car provided by the Organizing Committee or one that they had designed and built themselves in accordance with the technical requirements. Their task was to program the car to navigate the predefined racecourse accurately. In addition to identifying the two championship teams, the Organizing Committee also presented awards to other outstanding teams. In the high school category, second place went to team JQKA from Hung Vuong High School for the Gifted, while third place was awarded to team The NaCa from Nguyen Trai High School. In the university category, second place belonged to team NaCa Mecha from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education, while team NaCa Team from Thu Dau Mot University won third place.
The EIU MCR is not merely a competition, but also a platform that promotes learning, research, and innovation among high school and university students. Through the competition and hands-on experience, participants have the opportunity to apply their knowledge in real-world situations, thereby enhancing their capabilities, developing engineering thinking, strengthening teamwork skills, and nurturing their passion for technology. At the same time, the competition creates an environment for young people with shared interests in science and engineering to connect, exchange ideas, and learn from one another.
