RoboGames is the world's largest open robot competition, welcoming builders of all ages and backgrounds to compete in over 50 events spanning combat robotics, soccer, sumo, android design, and more. High school students can participate through the dedicated Junior League, which offers free entry to events such as Lego Tube Push, 1-pound combat, and autonomous sumo competitions. Founded in 2004 by the Robotics Society of America, RoboGames brings together competitors from diverse specializations and skill levels at its annual tournament. It is one of the most exciting opportunities available for students passionate about engineering, programming, and hands-on robotics design.
