MISSION BRIEF
Two days where Sarawak's brightest minds pit drones, robots and code against each other — on the floor, in the air, and in the arena.
DROBOTEX 2026 is TEGAS's flagship robotics and drone exposition — a convergence of competition, exhibition and education. Nine competition arenas run across two categories: Category A for schools and Category B for open and tertiary teams, backed by universities, TVET institutions and industry builders from across Borneo.

A
IGNITE STEM CULTURE
Put robotics, drones and AI in the hands of students — not behind glass. Every zone is built to be touched, flown and programmed.
B
BUILD THE PIPELINE
Connect schools, universities and TVET institutions into one competitive ladder — from Scratchathon rookies to Battlebot veterans.
C
BRIDGE INDUSTRY
Cytron, Droneskaki, MyRobotZ, TCIL and more run arenas and workshops — turning two days of competition into careers and collaborations.
D
PUT SARAWAK ON THE MAP
Position Kuching as Borneo's robotics capital — a regional stage where local talent competes at national standard.
