The Xilinx sponsored team, from Xi’an Jiao Tung University, first won the right to represent China earlier this year at a national competition held in Beijing. The team advanced to the finals where they defeated 16 other teams from across the Middle East and Asia to win the Robocon 2008 competition. The first-place winners will be featured on the China Central Television Network over the National Day holiday this week.
