INTRODUCTION “NRPC” has been a household name amongst schools since 2007. In 2016, her 10th Anniversary, the school re-branded NRPC to become National Robotics Programming Competition, ensuring that the focus is on programming in line with Singapore’s SMART Nation initiative. With this re-branding, this annual event organised by Admiralty Secondary School and partner institute Nanyang Polytechnic aims at challenging young minds by stretching their potential in robotics, including drones, and enhance the learning experience for our participants and promote the culture of thinking, innovation and collaboration in problem-solving. For the 13th edition in 2019, programming is further encouraged through open category of participants using micro-controllers in the new Arduino / Micro:Bit Design Thinking Challenge. OBJECTIVES
PLATFORMS The missions for this year’s National Robotics Programming Competition are as follows.
