As host, it gave our country the opportunity to showcase our student’s science and technology skills. A total of 1,012 students (239 teams) from twenty two (22) countries participated last November 5-7, 2010 at SMX Convention Center/ Manila Hotel. To date, this has been the largest World Robot Olympiad.
