Two days where Sarawak's brightest minds pitted drones, robots and code against each other — on the floor, in the air, and in the arena.
DROBOTEX 2026 has concluded with remarkable success as TEGAS's flagship robotics and drone exposition — a massive convergence of competition, exhibition, and hands-on education. Nine competition arenas welcomed schools, tertiary students, and open teams backed by universities, TVET institutions and industry builders from across Borneo.

// BACKED BY BORNEO'S BUILDERS
To every team, pilot, coach, teacher, partner, and spectator who walked through the doors of Ang Cheng Ho Hall: thank you for making DROBOTEX 2026 an extraordinary milestone for STEM in Sarawak.
Across 9 arenas, teams pushed custom bots, drones, and algorithms to the limit. From first-time coders in Scratchathon to high-speed TinyWhoop pilots and Battlebots clashes, your determination and sportsmanship made this event truly memorable.
Special thanks to Tabung Ekonomi Gagasan Anak Sarawak (TEGAS), our technical leads Catcity Drone Racing, Aksadron, Droneskaki, TCIL, STEM Ground, Lighthouse of Hope, and all marshals, judges, and volunteers.
The mission doesn't stop here. DROBOTEX 2027 will return with larger arena tracks, next-generation AI robotics categories, and expanded regional invitations. Follow TEGAS official updates to be first in line when registration opens next year.
