The National Robotics Open Competition (NROC) is a robotics competition specially designed for private and international school students including those from Maktab Rendah Sains MARA (MRSM) aged between 7 and 19. This impactful extra-curricular programme is organised by the Ministry of Education (MoE) Malaysia and Sasbadi Holdings Berhad since 2016.

The primary objectives of the NROC are to nurture students' interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM); to mould their Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and ability to solve problems using creativity and innovation; and to nurture their teamwork skills.

Each team consists of 3 students and a teacher as a mentor. The theme of the competition changes every year. With the mentor as a guide, the students will work together to design, build and program a robot as well as to create creative and innovative solutions using LEGO® Education technology.
