You need: A laptop
Virtual
Rounds run entirely in Sim. No kit, no travel, no entry cost — the widest door into competing.
Arena
Where Africa's young
engineers meet.
Registration, team formation, mentor booking, submission, judging rubrics and live leaderboards — in one place, so organisers run the room instead of a spreadsheet.
Three ways to compete
You need: A laptop, then a kit
Hybrid
Heats are simulated and the final is in person, so qualifying does not depend on owning hardware.
You need: A kit and a team
Physical
Build-offs on a real field mat, scored live. The Arena Kit is the official robot and field.
Virtual rounds exist so that not owning a kit never stops a learner competing.
