All teams entered the finals.  They presented and answered questions about their robots online in real time on June 27, 2021.  The Essence of the Grey Region won the world championship in the Open Category.  All other teams participating in the Open Category were university students around the world.  This is the third year that The Essence of the Grey Region has participated in this competition.  The team was the champion in the Youth Category in both 2019 and 2020.  It further challenged itself this year by joining the Open Category, winning the championship for the third year.  The Essence of the Grey Region was the only secondary school team to compete in the Open Category. 

All our contestants in the Youth Category were junior high students and first-time participants in the competition.  Try Forever won the world’s second place.  PC FBOT’s robot malfunctioned during the competition, but the team managed to repair it on the spot.  Although the team failed to put forth the best presentation in the end because of time limits, it was nonetheless a valuable learning experience for the students.
