The National Robotics Open Competition (NROC) is a national robotics programme for students aged 7 to 19 from private, international, Maktab Rendah Sains MARA (MRSM) and public schools. Organised by the Ministry of Education Malaysia and Sasbadi Holdings Berhad since 2016, NROC 2026 expands participation to promote inclusivity while maintaining a competitive and enriching environment.

NROC aims to spark students’ interest in STEM, strengthen Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and develop problem-solving through creativity and innovation. It also emphasises teamwork, preparing students with essential skills for future learning and careers. Each team, guided by a mentor, consists of two students. Every year features a new theme, where teams design, build and program robots while creating innovative solutions using LEGO® Education technology and the MATRIX Robotics System.
