RoboMission = one robot, a printed mat, about two minutes, fully autonomous. Here’s what a team actually does:
- Get the mystery field. A brand-new mat and missions drop every season. 2026 is “Robots Meet Culture”.
- Build your bot. Motors, sensors and LEGO®-style parts: a machine that can grab, push, sort and deliver.
- Teach it, don’t drive it. You program every move in advance. At the buzzer, hands off: the robot runs solo for about two minutes.
- Beat the surprise. Some objects sit in different spots on competition day, so robots must sense and adapt, not memorise.
- Climb the ladder. Strong runs move you up: national rounds, then the international final.
