HELUKABEL Vietnam supports Mechanical Engineering Robot Contest 2025

As technology rapidly evolves, providing academic platforms that allow students to apply their knowledge in practical settings is more important than ever. Mechanical Engineering Robot Contest (MERC) stands out as one of the most exciting arenas for young robotics enthusiasts in Ho Chi Minh City.

Specifically, MERC is an annual creative competition organized by Creative Academic Techno Club (C.A.T CLUB) at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT) – VNU-HCM. Since its inception in 2021, the competition has successfully held four seasons, attracting hundreds of teams and solidifying its reputation as one of the largest and most professional robotics contests at the university.

Each season, MERC draws a large number of participants thanks to its well-structured challenges, attractive prizes, and thrilling matches. More than just a competition, MERC serves as a platform for young innovators to hone their creative thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. The intense rivalries and shared passion for robotics contribute to the event's growing appeal year after year.

Building on past successes, C.A.T CLUB officially launched MERC 2025 on February 23, 2025, under the theme “Quốc Sử Hùng Ca” (loosely translated as “Heroic National History”). This year’s challenges are inspired by historical milestones in Vietnam’s resistance against foreign invaders, allowing students to not only refine their skills in robot design, manufacturing, and operation but also reconnect with the nation’s heroic past.

With its spirit of creativity and continuous innovation, MERC 2025 promises to be a dynamic academic playground, bringing together groundbreaking ideas and thrilling competitions from students within and beyond HCMUT.

Recognizing the shared values of innovation and creativity between the competition and our company, we HELUKABEL Vietnam are honored to support MERC 2025 as a Gold Sponsor. This marks our first time sponsoring a robotics competition, signifying an important step in our journey to connect with and support Vietnam’s future generation of engineers.

We believe MERC is more than just a technical contest – it is a unique opportunity for young tech enthusiasts to collaborate, exchange knowledge, and grow. Through these history-themed challenges, we hope students will not only apply their engineering expertise but also deepen their appreciation for Vietnam’s rich history.

We HELUKABEL Vietnam hope to continue supporting young talents and contributing to the development of future engineers. We wish MERC 2025 great success and hope all teams have an exciting and unforgettable season!
