The team is composed of Kim Marco Perez, 14, Dan Joseph Garcia,13 and Francisco Gabriel Nunez, 14.

On the other hand, another RP entry from Grace Christian School has won the Best Team Spirit award. 

The main theme for this year’s competition was Robots that display human-like characteristics or behaviour. RP’s entry has something to do with ‘hospitality’, a notable trait of Filipinos.
