Engineering Robotics Competition

 

Saturday, November 21, 2026

We’re excited to bring back our famous and fan-favorite Sumobot Fight Competition! This year’s event builds on the energy of last year, with a few updates based on your feedback. You’ll notice adjustments in the rules — look for the yellow highlights to spot the amendments.
For over a decade, our Robotics Competition has been the go-to event for elementary and high school students seeking an affordable, action-packed, and hands-on robotics challenge. Students will design, build, and program their Sumobots to battle it out in an exciting showcase of STEM skills in action! Just like before, teams are welcome to compete using LEGO® EV3, SPIKE Prime, or NXT kits.

REGISTRATION WILL OPEN LATE AUGUST
