Shenzhen, China this past July over the course
of 13 days, the Final Tournament’s winning team
from Northeastern University, TDT, took home
the gold trophy along with RMB 500,000 (USD
$70,841) as the Grand Prize. Close to 200 teams
consisting of 10,000 young engineers from
around the world signed up for the 2019 Robo-
Master competition season, with 32 teams battling
it out in the final tournament. Participating
teams included students from mainland China,
