The journey to conquer the VEX Robotics Vietnam National Championship 2025 has been an unforgettable experience for the talented members of the Technoholics. Every step of the way, every moment, has marked their growth, teamwork, and passion for innovation.

Throughout their journey, the members of Team PENN BÁNH Ú gave their all, facing intense and challenging matches. Although this year’s journey ended in the Quarter-Final Round of the Alliance Challenge, their relentless efforts and invaluable experiences have left a profound impact on every team member.

Nguyen Quoc Tan Loc, a team member, emotionally shared: “After a long journey at the VEX Robotics Vietnam National Championship 2025, my most memorable and also bittersweet moment was our final match in the Quarter-Final Round. It was one of the happiest yet saddest matches I’ve ever played. While it left me with a sense of regret, it also filled me with indescribable emotions. This match marked the end of my 3-year journey with robotics and was also my final competition.

The Quarter-Final Round was filled with tension and excitement. Our team had spent days meticulously preparing, and testing every component of our robot to ensure flawless performance. When the starting buzzer sounded, my heart raced with a mix of anticipation and excitement. Our robot executed its tasks smoothly and with precision. However, in a crucial moment, a minor technical issue prevented it from completing the final task.

At that moment, words could not fully express my emotions. Alongside the regret, I also felt immense pride knowing that our team had given it everything we had. The countless hours spent researching, the late nights fine-tuning every tiny detail of our robot—these are memories I will cherish forever.

Through this competition, I have learned invaluable lessons. I now understand that thorough preparation and teamwork are key to success. I’ve also realized that failure is not the end, but rather an opportunity to grow and improve. The challenges we faced taught me patience, adaptability, and the determination to push beyond my limits.

Although the competition has ended, the experiences and memories from the VEX Robotics Vietnam National Championship 2025 will always be an unforgettable part of my youth. I do feel a sense of nostalgia knowing this was my last time participating in this competition, but I believe that when one door closes, another one opens. The knowledge and skills I have gained will serve as a valuable foundation for my future, driving me to explore and conquer new challenges.”

Regardless of the results, Team PENN BÁNH Ú and all other competing teams from the Technoholics remain a source of pride for the PennSchool community. Their unwavering dedication, team spirit, and passion for technology continue to inspire future generations.
