At the ceremony, the participants watched a film describing 2017 robocon laws. According to Head of Robocon Board, this year's robot theme is so interesting but full challenging.

Also at the event, members of Consulting and Instructor Board answered questions asked by students in making robots. To prepare for the regional qualifying round, from now to end 2016, students will respectively experience rounds such as "Design Ideas", "Simulating products",... This year's theme promises a full interesting and challenging journey to Lac Hong robocon teams in particular and Vietnamese students in general.
