Robotics contests are competitive events where teams design, build, and program robots to complete specific tasks or challenges. These contests often focus on skills like engineering, programming, and teamwork. Participants may use various materials and technologies, including sensors and motors, to create their robots. Many robotics contests, such as FIRST Robotics Competition and RoboCup, have different categories and age groups, allowing students from elementary to high school to participate. These events encourage creativity and problem-solving while promoting interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.
