What Is NRL Colorado Combat Robotics?
It is a school- or youth-organization team program, not a direct individual-student contest. Educators partner with local machine shops whose industry advisors help students plan, CAD, machine, weld, wire, document, test, and improve a remote-controlled combat robot over roughly six months.
Teams build for an annual spring arena event under detailed technical and safety regulations. The 2026 rules used a 15-pound wheeled class, allowed certain non-wheeled robots up to 20 pounds, limited height and width to three feet, and required safety inspection. Students also complete manufacturing surveys, tour a partner shop, obtain advisor sign-off, and submit permission, liability, safety, and media forms.
