In 2013, the Vietnam Robot Innovation Contest with the theme "Green Planet" is an opportunity to welcome innovative ideas in raising awareness on global environmental problems. Accordingly, the competition will require the manually controlled Robocon and automatic Robocon model of the teams to move along the arc, pick up the symbolic leaves and place them at seven representative locations on Earth. Then, the Robocons have to sow the seed on the model of the Moon, which is placed on a 1.5-meter column. The robots need to perform a successful throw with a distance of over 3 meters. After the Opening Ceremony, Robocon teams competed in the group stage to determine the top teams moving on to the final round.
