WRO 2024 Theme
The WRO® theme for 2024 is Allies of the Earth.
In 2024, teams will learn more about how humans affect nature and how nature and natural events can affect us. They will investigate how robots can help us live in harmony with nature. Can robots help us live in places where nature is dangerous or harsh, and can they assist us in leading a more environmentally friendly lifestyle?
Know the categories of the Olympiad (WRO)
robbery mission
WRO® RoboMission is a competition based on challenges. Students must design, build, and program an autonomous robot that can solve specific challenges in a field. All robot parts, including controller, motors and sensors, must be from LEGO® (MINDSTORMS® NXT or EV3, SPIKE PRIME or Robot Inventor).
See the requirements
Age: Elementary: 8-12 | Junior: 11-15 | Senior: 14-19
Team size: 2-3 people guided by a coach
Hardware: Based on LEGO
Software: Free choice
Maximum size: Max. 25x25x25cm
Features: Build and program a robot that solves challenges in a field.
Robo Sport
With the WRO® RoboSports category we introduce a fun and exciting game in which two teams each have two autonomous robots on the field playing a sports game. The robot must be built with LEGO® materials, including the controller, motors and sensors (MINDSTORMS® NXT or EV3, SPIKE PRIME or Robot Inventor). The game changes every 3 or 4 years and the current one is Double Tennis.
