A Robotics Science Fair. Teams of up to 5 students have complete freedom to enter any * intelligent * autonomous * interactive * robotics project using sensors.

  • Jr. Division: Grades 5~8
  • Sr. Division: Grades 9~12​
Since a game competition with fixed rules may limit students' creativity, Robofest offers a stage for exhibitions to demonstrate their creations. The robotics exhibition is a great way for students to show off their imagination and creativity. Each team has complete freedom to create autonomous robotics projects such as robot pets, robot artists, dancing robots, storytelling with robots, robots for scientific experiments, and practical robotics applications. Computer controlled robots with sensors may be of any size and can use any material. Hard-wired remote control is not allowed. However, wireless host computer/robot control via software messages is allowed. Human interaction with the robots is allowed and encouraged.
