The TDTU SKYVISION team consists of students Huynh Phi Lan, Ha Nhat Long, Do Minh Nhat, Tran Huu Thang, and Nguyen Trong Tin from the Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, under the mentorship of Dr. Tran Thanh Nam - Head of the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications.
Facing a rigorous schedule spanning three days from 5/12 to 7/12, the SKYVISION team demonstrated consistent performance and intelligent tactical execution. Remaining undefeated in the group stage, the talented students from TDTU’s Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering successfully advanced to the quarter-finals.
- Quarter - finals (Afternoon of 6/12): SKYVISION faced a tense confrontation with the HCMUTE - FME team (Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education). Through meticulous preparation and flexible situational processing, the TDTU team achieved a convincing victory to advance.
- Semi - finals (Afternoon of 6/12): The next opponent was VANLANGUAV (Van Lang University) - a highly - rated contender. The match unfolded dramatically with a technological pursuit in the sky.
