    Abstract: Participating in robotics competitions, including ABU Asia-Pacific Robot Contest (ABU Robocon),
has been a preferred learning environment to identify and foster student’s creative potentials and skills for high
quality 21st century workforce. Lac Hong University (LHU) and its students have made special achievements
in ABU Robocon. Therefore, this study aims at identifying the determinants of their success as a typical
example, so that, we can have proper actions or strategies to motivate students in actively participating in
technological challenges/competitions for their future success. Top key determinants identified in this study
include: student’s passion in robotics and in innovations; interest of school leaders, faculties and staffs in the
field school supports for student’s makerspace; collaboration among team members and experiences from
previous teams, their practice/trials; preparedness for future careers and vision of the development in robotics
and mechatronics domains.
