Who should attend
If you thrive on high-level competition, smart engineering, and learning from teams that take robotics seriously, this is your room. - You’re part of an **FTC team** that wants to test itself against strong international competition and see how your robot, strategy, and drive team perform under real pressure. - You care about more than match results. You want to study **autonomous routines, mechanical design, control systems, and game strategy** by watching how top teams solve the same problems differently. - You’re a **student builder, programmer, or driver** who wants a weekend that feels intense, practical, and worth your time—full of ideas you can take back into your next iteration. - You’re a **coach, mentor, or parent** looking to support a serious team experience and get a clearer view of the level, preparation, and teamwork it takes to compete well. - You follow the broader world of **robotics and humanoid systems** and enjoy seeing competitive robotics as a fast-moving, hands-on proving ground for engineering talent. - You’re based in or traveling to the Bay Area for **Robotics Fair 2026** and want one of the most action-oriented ways to spend the weekend in person at Fiesta Hall in San Mateo.
