Information from the Military Technical Academy, the unit has just launched the Robocon competition to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam People's Army (December 22, 1944 - December 22, 2024). With the theme "Proud of history - Bright future", the organizers wish to propagate to generations of cadres, teachers, staff, students, non-commissioned officers - soldiers and students of the Military Technical Academy about the heroic historical tradition of the Vietnam People's Army, about the campaigns and battles that have made history and are the pride of our army in 80 years of building and growing. At the same time, it demonstrates the determination to build a lean, strong, modern Vietnam People's Army in the new era, ready to fight to protect every inch of land, sea and sky of the Fatherland. Major General Mai Quang Huy - Deputy Director of the Military Technical Academy - said that the Robocon competition is aimed at students of the academy and technical universities and colleges who are young, enthusiastic, and passionate about robots. Thereby, creating a vibrant playground for students to exchange, learn and master technology, encourage and promote scientific and technical creativity, contributing to promoting the development of the automation industry in Vietnam. The new point of this year's competition is that historical events are used in the Robocon competition in 2024, including the Dien Bien Phu campaign in 1954 and the Dien Bien Phu in the air campaign in 1972. According to the competition rules, each team registered to participate in the competition will design and manufacture two competing robots: ROBOT-M (semi-automatic robot controlled by hand) and ROBOT-A (automatic robot). The teams' robots must perform two tasks in sequence: completely destroying the bases in the Dien Bien Phu campaign and destroying mobile targets (flying targets) in the Dien Bien Phu air campaign.

The qualifying round of the competition is expected to take place in October 2024 and the final round will take place in early November 2024.
