The Final adopted an AI-themed setting in the 30,000 m² stadium, and the AI Carnival space outside of the stadium was another appealing spot where tech enthusiasts can linger around for hours.

One Vietnamese contestant, after days of learning and training, began to realize the nice qualities in teammates, “Though we still have different opinions, we always listen to each other to make it better.” As a Chilean contestant said, “We laughed, we learned, we stressed and finally we had a great time!”

Through 3 years of exponential growth, MakeX Robotics Competition is becoming an internationally-renowned cross-cultural platform where contestants can exchange ideas, advanced technology, communicate through competition and teamwork, and develop creativity. MakeX will keep its momentum to grow to provide a bigger stage for more global contestants in the coming years.
