Mongolian team wins second place at the 18th ABU Robocon 2019 Mongolia. ABU Robocon started in 1991, extended the concept from NHK Robocon which restricted to teams from Japan only. Robocon  Each year the competition has different topics, but generally speaking two or more robots must be used to complete the tasks. One of the robots would be manual control while the others are automatic. The best robots usually weight more than 10 kg and span in one square meter area. To build the robots, contestants, who are restricted to be undergraduate students, must possess rich knowledge in programming, mechanical designand electronic circuit design.
