General Info
Get ready for the 2026 Hong Kong Open Robotics Tournament, one of the most exciting VEX IQ Robotics Competitions in Hong Kong! Happening on December 14, 2025, at WEO Chang Pui Chung Memorial School, this exciting event welcomes 32 teams from Hong Kong, Macau, China, the Asia-Pacific region, and, for the first time, teams from beyond Asia.
If you are a team from outside Hong Kong, you are welcome to join, and please contact us for assistance with travel and accommodation. This competition IS a local qualifying event, and ONLY Hong Kong teams PARTICIPATING and PERFORMING in one of the four local qualifying events to be eligible for the VIQRC Hong Kong Regional Championship on a FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVED BASIS.
Introduction
Hosted by Hong Kong Joint School Technology Education Association (JSTEA), Hong Kong Technology Education Association and WEO Chang Pui Chung Memorial School in collaboration with Asian Robotics League, BDS Technology (HK) Limited, Centre for Innovation and Technology (CINTEC) and Chinese University of Hong Kong, this tournament builds on last year’s successful event, offering more students a chance to compete and connect.
The event will feature live streaming and English-speaking emcees. We’re taking the event to the next level, providing a more professional and engaging experience for teams and spectators, making it Hong Kong’s only VEX competition with a global webcast.
Teams will compete in the VEX IQ Mix & Match game. This year, we’re introducing a new award—Autonomous Coding Award, given to every team that completes the Autonomous Skills Challenge. This award aims to encourage teams to resolve competition challenges via programming. Every team has a chance to win this award, which can be awarded to multiple teams.
To encourage more students to participate in STEAM activities, up to two teams from each primary school in the Tseung Kwan O district are free to join this competition.
Why Join?
JSTEA has been promoting the development of local technology education by organizing and promoting technology-related activities and competitions. We hope to provide opportunities for Hong Kong youth to participate in regional and international technology education activities. This event will give Hong Kong youth and international teams a platform to showcase their skills and exchange ideas. It’s a chance to test your robot, refine your strategies, and compete with teams from around the world. Stay tuned for updates on the agenda and more. Get ready for a day of robotics, teamwork, and fun at the 2026 Hong Kong Open Robotics Tournament!
