Robocon (Robotic Contest) is organized by Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU), a collection of over 20 countries in the Asia-Pacific Region. Each year, the competition has different topics, and two or more robots must complete the tasks. One robot will have manual control while the others are automatic. To build the robots, contestants, who are supposed to be undergraduate students, must possess rich knowledge in programming, mechanical design, and electronic circuit design. With the 20th anniversary of the ABU ROBOCON, the organizing committee brings the most exciting theme based on the game of "Throwing Arrows" from ancient China.

THE INTELLIGENT WASH LASER SOAP DISPENSER focusses at fulfilling the prime requirement of ensuring proper handwashing method by motivating the users to rinse hands for minimum 20 seconds. If there is dirt, mud anything which is visible on your hands, you can see how long it takes to remove it. But in the case of microbial organisms and germs, you are not going to get the same sort of visual message. Thus the dedicated Timer-based LASER solves the purpose by projecting virtual bed of germs on the hands for 20 seconds, thus stimulating the users by giving the actual feel of germs on the hand and thereafter making the users even more cautious about the right way of handwashing. Also adding up to major advantages of achieving sustainable design goals by using eco-conscious materials in the soap dispenser bottle and aiming at achieving zero wastage goals.
