The Competition
Four Categories with Different Age Groups
Teams can participate in four different age groups. This allows the participants to develop their robotic skills from a very young age up to being a college or university student.
A team consists of two or three students ans is guided by a coach. Participating teams need to design, build and program a robot model that is capable to perform a challenge, play soccer or demonstrate a solution for a real-life problem.
Take a look at our four competition categories and get started!
