The 2025 edition selected 112 teams out of over 300 applications, including 64 in the heavy 110 kg category where the Tunisian team competes.
A Testament to Tunisian Youth's Technological Expertise
This exceptional performance is a testament to the technological know-how and scientific potential of Tunisian youth in cutting-edge fields such as mechatronics, artificial intelligence, and advanced robotics.
National Recognition
The Tunisian Order of Engineers (OIT) hailed this achievement, describing it as a "national pride" and an illustration of the strategic role of engineering in Tunisia's economic and scientific development.
Call for National Support
The BlackShark team is calling for increased national support, particularly in terms of equipment and technical assistance, to perfect their preparation before the Moscow world final.
