RoboGames International Robotics Competition

Organization: RoboGames, Inc.

Program Overview

Large international robotics competition with dozens of events where teams build and compete with robots in combat, soccer, art, and more.

RoboGames is a large international robotics competition held annually in the United States, featuring dozens of different events such as combat robots, robot soccer, firefighting, sumo, maze solving, humanoid challenges, and art bots. Teams from around the world design, build, and program robots to compete in specific categories, with medals awarded similarly to the Olympics. High school students can participate by forming or joining teams, often through a school robotics club, makerspace, or independent group with an adult mentor. While there is no strict grade restriction published, many events are accessible to motivated high school participants who have basic skills in engineering, fabrication, and programming. Students benefit by gaining hands-on design and build experience, working with industry-standard tools and components, and collaborating in a highly practical engineering environment. The event also offers exposure to the broader robotics community, including hobbyists, engineers, and university teams. Because RoboGames is a public, open competition rather than a school-only league, teams need to manage their own registration, robot design, travel, and safety requirements. This makes it an excellent option for advanced or highly motivated high school students looking to test their skills in a real-world, international robotics arena.
