ROBOCON is a national scientific and technological activity for college students sponsored by CCTV. Since 2002, it has been held once a year to select outstanding teams of China university students for the Asia-Pacific Robot TV Contest for University Students, and it has been successfully held for 18 sessions, each with a theme.
The purpose of this competition is to cultivate and develop the intelligence and innovative spirit of college students all over the country, and to show the robot-making ability and high-tech application level of contemporary college students. 20 13 CCTV officially withdrew from the competition, and China lost the qualification to participate in international competitions. In 20 14, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League became the organizer of the event. This project is also called "National College Student robot contest".
This competition provides an opportunity for college students in China to explore the combination of science and technology, innovative thinking and practical action. It provides a big stage for stimulating teenagers' interest and hobby in high technology, stimulating their innovative consciousness, activating campus scientific and technological activities and cultivating future scientific and technological talents. It is also a new measure for CCTV to publicize and deepen the strategic policy of "rejuvenating the country through science and technology". "robocon" has formed an annual regular competition since the first session in 2002, which will strongly stimulate teachers and students' awareness and enthusiasm for scientific and technological innovation. "robocop" is also called "CCTV robocop".
