Sections will also be urged to invite local industry leaders and Government officials to these events. A limited R10 funding will be available to Sections to conduct Stage 1 activities. R10 funding will be approved after a strict scrutiny of the proposals submitted by the IEEE Sections in the Region
Teams nominated by the Sections will undergo an online assessment process to select best ten teams for Stage 3, which be the final round. An R10 appointed Judges Panel will carryout the assessments. The members of the judging panel will be experts in robotics from across R10. In Stage 2, teams will be required to give a live demonstration of their robotics projects and answers questions from the Judges.
