2024 RoboRAVE World Championships
UniSC Arena, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia
July 13-14th 2024
A huge thank you to competitors, coaches, volunteers and spectators for coming to the largest RoboRAVE Australia event ever.
Also thanks to our sponsors and supporters who made this event possible. Without their support we cannot run RoboRAVE Australia events and keep our low barrier to entry mission to get as many students involved with Robotics as possible.
Photos, Videos and official results will be uploaded soon!
A note on RoboRAVE 2025
Dear RoboRAVE Community,
We want to thank you for your continued enthusiasm and support for RoboRAVE. Unfortunately, we must share that there will not be a RoboRAVE event in 2025.
RoboRAVE has always been run by a dedicated team of volunteers who balance their passion for STEM education with full-time jobs and other commitments. Due to limited volunteer availability in our core team, we are unable to run the event at the size, quality and experience that participants deserve.
We deeply appreciate the time and effort of everyone involved over the years—our volunteers, educators, students, and supporters. While this is a difficult decision, we hope to explore opportunities for future events when circumstances allow.
Thank you for your understanding, and we encourage you to stay connected for any future updates.
If you’d like to be involved in RoboRAVE competitions going forward please sign up to our mailing list and we’ll keep you updated!
What is RoboRAVE Australia?
RoboRAVE Australia is a series of annual events leading up to the hosting of the RoboRAVE World Championships in 2024. This exciting initiative aims to engage students and adults in collaborative robotic competition. The events will see competitors engineering robots that climb vertical surfaces, battle in sumo arenas, negotiate mazes and use vision technology to follow lines and track objects. The RoboRAVE series of challenges is open to students, hobbyists and budding entrepreneurs of all ages.
RoboRAVE is a unique format in that participants can enter using any robotics platform, at any age, with any level of experience and from anywhere in the world. In order to compete, competitors will need to be able to design, build and program a fully autonomous robot to complete a given task..
The aims of the competition are to overcome complex and sometimes unknown tasks through mechanical and coding iterations, whilst also promoting collaborative relationships between teams from different backgrounds, levels of experience and expertise. As a result, of exposing students to such challenges, they develop resilience, grit and problem solving skills, which are the key qualities of successful entrepreneurs. Enquiry and project-based learning are the educational philosophies deeply embedded in the nature of the RoboRAVE competition.
Alongside the competition, entrants will have the opportunity to view a range of full scale industry robots, high performance vehicles, virtual reality experiences and displays by industry related potential employers.
