The challenge engages students in grades 7-12 to work in teams to design, build, and code robots that compete against robots built by other teams. Robots are built from a reusable platform, powered by Android technology, and can be coded using a variety of levels of Java-based programming. During the 2024 season, teams will reimagine the future of sustainable energy in competitive games that test the limits of performance, efficiency and endurance.
