Congratulations teams!
Last weekend we had 5 teams compete at RoboRave Australia!
It was amazing to see everyone having a great time and giving each competition their best go. All the work you have put in the past 3 weeks has been outstanding and it really translated on the day.
You were all phenomenal and we are so proud of you all.

The time has come! These school holidays, Royal Robotics is teaming up with Gear Up Robotics to take an elite class of students to compete in RoboRAVE on July 17th!
This program will consist of 4 intensive sessions where you will learn how to build and program your robot to compete in one of the many challenges available at the competition.
Tickets available at: https://events.humanitix.com/royal-robotics-x-gear-up-robotics-roborave-competition-teams
Under the direction of Oscar from Royal Robotics and Ioana from Gear up, you will learn tricks of the trade to boost your chances of success!
From SumoBot to A-MAZE-ing, and Line Follow to Entrepreneurial, we will guide you through what it takes to create a robot that is built to win! Does this sound like something for you? Get involved today!
What to expect:
This Program will be held over four sessions during the winter school holidays. The sessions are as follows:
Thursday: 30/06/2022 - 9:00am-12:00pm
Friday: 01/07/2022 - 9:00am-12:00pm
Thursday: 07/07/2022 - 1:00pm-4:00pm
Friday: 08/07/2022 - 1:00pm-4:00pm
An additional preparation will also be held before RoboRave on 17/07/2022:
Friday: 15/07/21 - 4:00pm-6:00pm
What's included:
The course fee includes:
- A team t-shirt
- Competition registration
- Four sessions led by two robotics competition legends and an additional preparation session.
- All gear (robots, building materials, activity resources) for use during the program + competition
During the sessions:
During the four holiday sessions, we request that each student brings their own laptop to be used for programming. We ask this as it gives students the opportunity to take their work home to build on it, learn more other skills, and come into the next session one step ahead. A small number of devices will be available for loan during the sessions if required.
Each student should bring a packed lunch/snack and a water bottle to each session.
Contact:
For any further questions, information or queries, please contact Ioana at [email protected] or 0457 289 175.
