According to the organizers, “the 2021 YRCC is designed to provide training and exposure to participants who want to take their robotics skills into the international robotics level. The lessons from the speakers, workshops, and pre-competition trainings offer immense wealth of learning which can prepare the participants for their future robotics endeavors. The competition will also allow the participants to test their skills vis-à-vis world standards and enable them to identify areas for improvement in robotics, teambuilding, communication, and project management.”
