What it is
Robotics is a sport of engineering ideas
Roboskills Competition brings together people who like to design, build, program and test robots — and to see what they can do against others.
-
Technical creativity
Design a robot, build it, program it — and improve it after every run.
-
Real challenges
Tracks, rings and courses that test the robot and the person behind it.
-
A community for all ages
Beginners and experienced builders, children, teenagers and adults — side by side.
-
On site and remote
Come to Espoo, or take part from home in the disciplines where that is possible.
Disciplines
