National Robotics Competition (NRC)

The National Robotics Competition (NRC) Singapore is one of the country’s largest technology and engineering competitions for young innovators. The event attracts participation from hundreds of schools, robotics academies, and STEM clubs, encouraging students to build, program, and compete using robotics and autonomous technologies.

The organization required a digital platform similar in structure to the existing First LEGO League (FLL) event system, enabling online registration, event scheduling, participant management, competition scoring, and real-time results publication.

• Replicating complex user workflows from FLL while customizing for NRC rules

• Managing large volumes of school/team registrations in short periods

• Handling automated fee calculation based on student category/team size

• Publishing real-time results in a transparent and dispute-free format

• Ensuring seamless user experience for parents, coaches, and organizers

The core objective was to create a website cloned on the proven functional structure of the FLL Singapore website, while customizing features to match unique NRC competition needs.

Key Requirements

• Clone and adapt the FLL Singapore event-registration & tournament platform

• Brand redesign reflecting NRC identity and competition themes

• Online registration and payment system for individual and team participation

• Custom dashboard for administrators to manage participants and competition events

• Score entry module for judges to upload scores and publish results

• Leaderboard for competition categories and age groups

• Membership tracking to support competition eligibility

• Performance optimization to handle high traffic during peak registration periods

Technology Stack

• Delivered a robust and scalable event management ecosystem inspired by a successful FLL model

• Customized competition scoring, scheduling & category-based workflows unique to NRC

• Created automation workflows that improved operational speed and participant satisfaction

• Ensured reliability, transparency, and professional competition experience

Conclusion

The National Robotics Competition (NRC) website project successfully transformed a previously manual administrative process into a modern digital system with automated registration, scoring workflows, and publicly visible results. By leveraging and adapting the proven FLL architecture, the platform was deployed faster and customized to meet NRC competition requirements, delivering a powerful technology foundation to support future expansion.

This project demonstrates expertise in WordPress-based event management systems, custom tournament engines, scoring automation, real-time publishing, and competition UX design.
