Are you ready to take your technical skills from the school to the open sea? In conjunction with RobotX 2026, we are looking for SST’s sharpest minds to take on the RSN Robotics Challenge.
This isn't just a competition; it’s a high-stakes engineering mission where you will build, program, and deploy Unmanned Surface Vessels (USV) and Underwater ROVs.
The objectives of the RSN Robotics Challenge are:
- to foster critical thinking and scientific inquiry by applying Physics and Engineering principles to solve complex, real-world maritime robotics challenges.
- to identify top-tier students in Computing and Robotics who demonstrate the technical excellence and "engineering grit" required to compete at an international level.
Mission Timeline
August 2026: Kick-off with a Weekend Hackathon. Get hands-on guidance on kit assembly, technical briefings, and learn the secret to winning the judging criteria. (Date TBC)
November 2026: The Final Deployment. Put your machines to the test in a real-world maritime environment. (Early Nov, date TBC)
Due to the complexity of the naval kits, only 16 students will be selected this year. Slots are limited and will be based on further shortlisting in Term 3. If you wish to participate in this challenge, kindly sign up here.
The deadline for signing up will be 29 May 2026 (Friday). Once you have signed up, you will receive additional updates via your school email. If you have further questions, contact Mr Andy Chia at chia_song_zhe_andy@sst.edu.sg.
