The 2018 ABU Robobon’s concept is “Throwing con,” inspired by a Vietnamese folk game.

“Throwing con” is popular among Northern ethnic minority people during their festivals, in which players throw a ball made from cloth through a ring on top of a 15-20m tall bamboo pole.

This is the third time Vietnam has hosted the contest, launched by the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) for engineering students in the Asia-Pacific region.

The 2019 ABU Robocon will be held in Mongolia.
