ROBOVR - THE CHAMPIONSHIP

RoboVR is a championship where students/robot makers/tech enthusiasts build 1’- 2’ sized robots and compete in 30+ human sports like archery, boxing, cricket, football, golf, swimming, tug of war & more played by robots against other robots. The game rewards teamwork and driving skill more than exotic materials and expensively built robots. The rules are a very simplified version of any human sport rules with additions for the nature of the robots as players. The addition of active devices on robots to shoot, kick or flip is encouraged. These devices make for a faster more exciting game. A robot shall have a jersey with its jersey number & team name written on its T-shirt. This is how the robots shall be recognized like a player is recognized when representing a country for any sport.

We, the Robot Makers and builders owe it to the world to make these sports exciting & pass it to our next generation. Participants have to build these robots as per the specifications mentioned in the rules on the website. All the sports arenas are reduced to robot size and shall grow with the growing skills of robots along the year to come. We aim that by the year 2050, robots shall be 6’ tall, majorly humanoid and shall play sports in the actual human arenas. This shows the curve of possible innovations & experiments that can be conducted on robots and the result of the perfect mechanism achieved can be used further in research of solving real life problems.

STEAM is an educational approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. We aim to develop these skills in the most fun, futuristic, educating & entertaining way through Robot Sports.
