==History==
Team Robo was created by Ujin Yumeno, an avid video gamer since the age of six. Despite having played Pokémon Red and Pokémon Emerald before, Ujin did not realize a need for a Pokémon Community in Singapore until end 2009, when he was influenced into playing Pokémon TCG by his nephew. While Ujin was drawn into the competitive aspects of the TCG and was in search of more serious players, he soon realized that a Pokémon TCG player base actually existed in Singapore, but was scattered due to the lack of official support for the game. Ujin then created Team Robo, which was aimed at gathering as many TCG players as possible in Singapore.
In March 2010, Ujin learnt that Maxsoft Pte. Ltd., the official distributor of the Pokémon TCG, was organizing the first Pokémon TCG event in Singapore. Writing in to find out more details about the event, Ujin was then invited to become a judge as the organizers could not find a person that understood the TCG game mechanics as well he did. 
During the event, Ujin realized the participants' devotion and passion towards the TCG, and with much enthusiasm, Ujin approached the organizers after the event to find out if they could do anything to maintain an interest in the Pokémon TCG in Singapore. Shortly after, Ujin was appointed as a League Organizer, and Team Robo become the Official Play! Pokémon Organization in Singapore. With support from the Team Robo committee, 8 Pokémon Gyms, places where TCG and video game players could gather and interact, were eventually opened by the end of 2010.Professor Ujin & his road to become a Pokémon Professor
The first major Pokémon-themed event held in Singapore took place in June 2010 at , which was organized under the name of Maxsoft Pte. Ltd,. Following the success of the first event, Team Robo was eventually given more recognition, and the next major event that took place in December 2010 at was then organized under the name of Team Robo.
On June 18, 2011, two more Gyms, Magnum and Eternal, were announced after the TCG National Championship 2011 Swiss Tournament. They would be located at GamesHaven and Ani-Play SG respectively. In late September, Aggro Gym had its name changed SmugLeaf, while Masters Gym was renamed Empyrean.
On April 11, 2012, Ujin announced that he would be stepping down as Head Judge due to health reasons. The management of Team Robo and the position of Head Judge was succeeded by Adrian Foo.Ujin's announcement, Team Robo Facebook page
