At World Robotic Olympiad, it is the company's mission to give as many young people as possible the opportunity to develop their creativity and problem solving skills in a fun and engaging way. Starting in 2004, World Robot Olympiad has developed to a truly global competition, with tournaments in more than 65 countries and the WRO international final in November, which is hosted by a different country each year.
Teams can participate in four different categories (Regular, Open, Football and ARC) with 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 and 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.
Please note that due to Covid-19, international events have been cancelled for 2020.
