The final round ofFPT Hackathon 2025 took place simultaneously nationwide, gathering the 28 best teams selected from 131 teams from 35 universities and colleges to compete with AI, IoT and embedded chip application solutions to solve smart logistics problems.

Students completed the coding test for 27 consecutive hours.

During the two days of competition, the teams underwent 27 hours of continuous programming to develop ideas and integrate technology into robot products to solve the requirements set by the organizers.

Next, the product was put into the driving test, where the robot had to prove its ability to operate in a realistic simulation environment. These challenges turned the final round into a true battle of wits, requiring solid programming skills, constant creativity and persistent team spirit from the young people.
