The National College Robot Competition ROBOCON competition began in 2002, for undergraduates, for the task-oriented event, the theme changes every year, has been held for 19 sessions, has attracted more than 30,000 college students from more than 100 well-known colleges and universities in China to participate. The winners of the competition will represent China in the "Asia-Pacific University Robot Competition" organized by the Asian Broadcasting Federation (ABU). At present, the Chinese team (including Hong Kong) has won 6 championships in the ABU annual finals.

The theme of this year's competition is "Throwing Pots" and "Mechanical Equestrianism". According to Xi Anmin, deputy director of the judging committee of the competition and professor of the University of Science and Technology Beijing, the "throwing pot" originated from the traditional Chinese etiquette project "throwing the pot", which echoed Zou Cheng's restoration of the etiquette in promoting and inheriting excellent traditional culture, allowing the participating students to inherit the excellent traditional Chinese culture through modern science and technology and feel the profound charm of the Confucian culture in Mencius's hometown.
The participants in the "Throwing Pot" project points competition need to comprehensively apply mechanical drawing, electronic circuits, microcontrollers, sensing technology, automatic control, image processing, computer programming languages, motor drag and other multi-disciplinary knowledge to design and produce manual or automatic robots.

Xi Anmin said that the participants need to carefully operate manual or automatic robots, with the help of mechanical kinetic energy, starting from the "starting area", in the 12000mm × 12000mm competition venue, within 3 minutes to complete the task of throwing arrows into the pot, comprehensive evaluation of the first team to achieve "big victory" to win. In addition, the competition in the "Mechanical Equestrian" event determines the final winner based on the total results of the sprint and obstacle courses.

Dong Yahui, the captain of the Harbin Institute of Technology competitive robot team who began to prepare for this competition in November last year, told reporters that in previous years, the title of the competition basically wrote a fixed parameter, the fastest ten seconds can complete the competition, this year's rules have increased the confrontation between the red and blue sides, it is impossible to complete with fixed parameters, it is necessary to make artificial judgment or program judgment, and the stability of the robot puts forward higher requirements, and the competition is more ornamental.
Ren Qinghu, member of the Standing Committee of the Cpc Jining Municipal Committee and director of the Propaganda Department, introduced jining's initiatives and development status in recent years to promote the development of intelligent manufacturing industry clusters, attract digital economy enterprises to settle down, and build high-end platforms such as the national robot inspection and testing center, and he said that the National College Student Robot Competition, as an excellent platform for displaying the teaching, research and innovative application of robots for teachers and students in colleges and universities, will bring a pleasing and shocking scientific and technological feast and cultural feast to Jining. Promote the vigorous development of the robot and intelligent equipment industry.
