Philippine Robotics Team Rank Top 20 @ Robot Virtual Games / World Robot Olympiad 2020

Robot Virtual Games / World Robot Games 2020 is a full action , problem-solving and fun scientific and technical event during a time where students cannot participate in face to face international robotics competitions.

Many students had to sleepover in other homes , travel to the city for internet , stay up in the wee hours of the morning due to different time zones to participate in the inaugural Robot Virtual Games/ WRO 2020. The students use a Virtual Robotics Toolkit simulator, design and program to achieve the best algorithms. Over 1,357 students from 32 countries participated in the Robot Virtual Games/ WRO 2020. There are 6 categories in the competition.

“I am honored to have been instrumental in pioneering the Robot Virtual Games / WRO 2020 as the World Robot Olympiad Ambassador . A few months ago, during the initial onset of Covid Pandemic , I have met with Panama STEM (Panama) , Robotechnia (Mexico) , Cogmation Robotics (Canada) with the support of the World Robot Association (Denmark) for the development of the Robot Virtual Games/ WRO 2020 as an alternative digital platform for countries that are constrained to use physical Robotics kits due to school closure or health/ safety protocols . We have been successful in creating an international robotics event to continue STEM programs while keeping our students safe”, Mylene Abiva , President/ CEO FELTA Multi-Media Inc. , World Robot Olympiad Ambassador.

The Philippine Robotics Team gave an outstanding performance by reaching the TOP 20.
