Design, create, and innovate.

These were what ERovoutika emphasized during their visit at Pasay City National Science High School on Monday, September 16.

In a seminar held at the school’s audio-visual room at 11:00 a.m., the robotics company introduced itself and the 3rd Robolution Competition to be held on December 6 and 7.

The competition will include the following categories: E-robot, Robosim, Humanoid, Erovouthon, Super AI Challenge, Quiz Bee, E-mega Sumobot, Freestyle, and Mobile Controlled E-Robot.

Speaker John Loyd Masipag encouraged the students to join in the Freestyle category, a competition that features research studies utilizing Arduino, as he believes that the students are already familiar with research writing.

After the introduction of the competition, Masipag showcased Yanshee, a robot that was able to sing, dance, and do push-ups.

Engr. James Ryan also presented the robot prototypes used in line tracing (E-Robot) and E-Mega afterwards.

The seminar ended at 12:30 p.m. with the closing remarks of Dr. Mark Anthony Familaran, school principal.

The school, using donations from parents, has also bought 10 robotic kits from ERovoutika that will be used by students for learning.

Members of the school’s robotics club, Innovative Robotics for Youth and Science (IRYS), together with adviser Aizah Agub, are expected to take part in the said competition.
