The team of Montenegrin roboticists at the Robotics Olympiad in Singapore

A team of roboticists from Montenegro is participating in the Olympiad "First global challenge" in robotics, which is being held this year in Singapore.

As reported by the organization Montenegrobotics, the young team of Montenegrin representatives consists of Bojana Moračanin, Miloš Milićević, Lazar Milićević, Matija Popović and David Labović under the mentorship of Nina Drakulić and Biljana Krivokapić.

"The Olympics brought together 191 countries from all over the world, and it is truly commendable that the Montenegrin flag flew at such a prestigious competition. This is the seventh year in a row that young people have successfully represented Montenegro," Drakulić said.

This year's theme of the competition is "Hydrogen Horizons", i.e. popularization of technology based on the use of hydrogen and renewable energy sources.

"Energy technologies based on hydrogen enable improved methods of transmission and storage of energy produced from renewable sources. The format of the competition is a game that challenges participants to use their creativity and problem-solving skills to design and build a skilled robot from a standard set of parts," adds the mentor of the Montenegrin team roboticist.

It also explains how the game "Hydrogen Horizons" works.

"The game challenges a changing alliance of three national teams to work together to build renewable energy networks, demonstrating the joint effort needed to develop sustainable energy. Teams must control their robots in a simulated game to produce hydrogen and use it for storage, transport and conversion of energy".

"First global challenge" is a US-based non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring young people from all nations to empower themselves in science, technology and innovation.

"These four days will be dedicated to international partnership, cooperation and celebration with a robotics competition in the style of the Olympic Games," Drakulić said.
