Robofest Official

Robofest is a competition of autonomous robots - programmed to act independently and not remote-controlled - that encourages students to have fun while learning principles of physical science, computer science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Students design, construct and program the robots, and adult coaches are not allowed to assist during the events.

Since 2000, over 12,000 students competed in Robofest, including teams from 13 US States and England, Canada, China, France, South Korea, Mexico, and Singapore.


Teams compete in the Junior Division (grades 5-8) and Senior Division (grades 9-12). Student teams, composed of up to seven members each can compete in several ways:

Games: Students undertake annual robotic missions.

Exhibition: Each team has complete freedom to show off any creative autonomous robotics project.

RoboFashion and Dance Show: Teams of two robots will show off their costumes and dance moves.

Associate Events:
Vision Centric Challenge (VCC): Develop a vision centric robot to maneuver
through an obstacle course.
