Greenbots scored full points for a completely fresh challenge in just 72 seconds, ultimately clinching the first spot. Greenbots from India faced stiff competition from some of the best robotics teams from Taiwan, Korea, Hongkong, Malaysia, USA, Germany, Switzerland, Canada and Mexico, they proved their mettle with a stupendous performance on both the days. These teens, with their temperament, maturity and problem-solving skills proved their character and came out to be the World Champions.

Ashwin Shah, Cofounder and CEO at RFL said "RFL plays a pivotal role in nurturing these young minds, by providing structured curriculum to learn robotics and eventually preparing them for various national and international robotics competitions. All these students have been learning robotics with RFL from last 5 years. A gold medal in WRO in the Robomission junior high category is the testament to our effective curriculum and teaching pedagogies, alongside of the technical expertise of the RFL coaches. This year, RFL trained 17 teams in WRO India national chapter, clinching top 3 spots in the regional chapter in August in Mumbai in all categories and eventually clinching top spots in Junior and senior category in national chapter, along with 3rd place in the elementary category. Since inception in 2016, RFL has a proven track record of winning WRO at the national chapter and representing India internationally.
