All students demonstrated outstanding skill, creativity and teamwork during the national qualifier, securing first place in their respective categories. Their achievement highlights the growing strength of robotics education in Oman and the dedication of students who are eager to compete on a global level.

“As they prepare for the finals in Singapore, these young innovators carry not only their robots but also the pride of Oman, aiming to raise the nation’s flag high in this prestigious international competition. We hope many more students will be motivated to learn about robotics and contribute to the development of the country and their futures,” said Vahid, one of the organisers of the event.
