They were amongst 53 teams participating in the event that had earned high prizes at national Robothon contests.
The International Robothon, held in alternating Southeast Asian countries, is a challenge for primary shool pupils to compete and learn creative problem-solving skills.
The theme for 2016 was the Internet of Things (IoT), which required participating teams to design, build and program robots that can execute multiple tasks and demonstrate a solution that is similar to what engineers might face. School pupils were also asked to simulate groundbreaking technologies to solve these complex problems.
The event provides a venue for students to encourage creativity, charge their minds with innovative ideas and problem-solving prowess and bring them closer to the future of science and technology.
