BEING the only team that successfully completed all the required “missions” earned UiTM’s team Namtor the top prize in the UAV Siswa Challenge 2013/ 2014.

The Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) undergraduates — Mohd Azri Mukhtarizan, 24, Ahmad Affiq Sukari, 23, Zafirah Husna Mohamad Amin, 23 and Nur Hanis Hazirah Mustapha, 23 — were challenged way beyond the classroom: from preparing and designing hexacopters to actually building and testing out their unmanned air vehicles (UAVs).
