MOFLON Slip Rings Empower Harbin Engineering University at ROBOCON 2026 National Robotics Contest
The 25th National University Robotics Contest (ROBOCON) wrapped up successfully in Jiangyin this July. Regarded as one of China’s most prestigious university-level robotics innovation competitions, this year’s event brought together 297 teams from 133 universities and nearly 5,000 young engineering talents. Centered around the theme Wulin Exploration, the contest delivered intense robotic head-to-head battles, serving as a top-tier testing ground for mechanical design, electronic control stability and overall robot durability.
ROBOCON 2026 Competition Venue
For this tournament, MOFLON partnered with the competitive robotics team from Harbin Engineering University (HEU), supplying the MC330 miniature capsule slip ring—a core rotary power transmission component that laid a robust foundation for power and signal delivery within the robot’s steering wheel system.

MOFLON Custom Slip Ring for ROBOCON Competition Robots
A national-level "Specialized, Refined, Unique & Innovative" Little Giant enterprise and a domestic industry leader in slip ring manufacturing, MOFLON has spent years developing 360° rotary power transmission solutions. Equipped with fully functional R&D labs and standardized intelligent production lines, our slip ring products are widely deployed across industrial automation, competitive robotics, smart equipment and more. We consistently deliver high-reliability rotary connection solutions for university innovation competitions, leveraging premium precision manufacturing to turn young engineers’ innovative concepts into functional hardware.
The HEU team selected the MOFLON MC330 capsule slip ring, a model purpose-built and optimized for compact competitive robotics platforms:
MOFLON Custom Slip Ring for ROBOCON Competition Robots
1.Lightweight & Compact Form Factor The ultra-small, low-weight body minimizes load on robotic steering wheels and fits seamlessly within confined onboard installation spaces.
2.Gold-on-Gold Contact Core Technology Exceptional wear resistance delivers an ultra-long continuous rotation service life, paired with minimal fluctuation in contact resistance to eliminate match-day signal dropouts.
3.Stable High-Current Output Ample single-circuit current capacity perfectly accommodates high-power direct-drive steering wheel operation, maintaining unattenuated power output throughout runtime.
4.Unrestricted 360° Continuous Rotation Eliminates cable tangling entirely, enabling robots to execute sharp turns and high-speed maneuvers without mechanical limitations during grid-based competitive matches.
ROBOCON features fast-paced, high-intensity robotic combat with frequent high-speed pivoting and non-stop heavy-duty operation. Stable power supply and signal transmission are decisive factors for match victory. Fitted with the MC330 slip ring, HEU’s competition robot maintained synchronous, consistent delivery of power and control signals throughout every round. Critical malfunctions including stalling, power loss and signal blackouts were fully avoided, allowing the team to fully focus on algorithm strategy and in-game tactics while maximizing their hardware performance edge.
From lab bench testing to grueling real-world tournament conditions, MOFLON’s precision slip ring technology has backed university robotics innovation every step of the way. Moving forward, we will continue to deepen our engagement with the academic innovation sector, delivering high-reliability rotary power transmission solutions for more young engineering innovators. Through robust core component technology, we aim to nurture domestic robotics talent and advance the next era of intelligent manufacturing.
