Frank Wang expressed gratitude for the delegation’s engagement, highlighting his commitment to igniting student interest in engineering. The Robomasters competition presents a unique platform for students to channel their creativity while developing technical competencies. Wang envisions RoboMasters growing in popularity comparable to the NBA, predicting that its champions will be celebrated as modern-day superstars.

The IEEE boasts a membership of over 420,000 individuals across 160 countries, significantly impacting the industrial landscape. As a trailblazer in the UAV industry, DJI remains committed to fostering a healthy environment for industry development through initiatives like RoboMasters.

The highly anticipated RoboMasters competition is set to kick off at the end of May 2015 and will take place in six cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Harbin, Wuhan, Chengdu, and Xi’an, culminating in a final showdown in Shenzhen in July.
