General Info
Get ready for an exciting day of teamwork, strategy, and putting your robot design to the test!
At the UTC Championships, your team will compete in fast paced matches, forming alliances, scoring points, and adapting your strategy as the day unfolds. Between matches, you’ll be in the pits refining your robot, solving problems, and supporting each other under pressure.
Judges will also speak with teams about your design process, coding, and teamwork. So be ready to share your journey and what makes your robot unique.
If it’s your first competition, expect a fun, supportive atmosphere where you’ll learn a lot, meet other teams, and gain valuable experience.
