ROBUL is embarking on a journey to the international FIRST competition in the USA.

A team of high school students from the Ústí nad Labem region will meet at the Faculty of Science of the UJEP and their task will be to design, construct and program a robot with which they will participate in the FIRST international robotics competition in the USA in March 2025!

The first meeting of the team will take place on Thursday, October 10, 2024 from 5:00 p.m. in auditorium 1.01 at the Center for Science and Technology CPTO (UJEP Campus, Pasteurova 3632/15, 400 96 Ústí nad Labem).

The beginning of the 2024/2025 school year also means the beginning of the official first year of the ROBUL project. The team’s background, at least until 2027, was provided by the Department of Informatics of the Faculty of Science of the UJEP in cooperation with the Institute of Machines and Power Engineering of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the UJEP and the Innovation Center of the Ústí nad Labem Region. The goal of the activity is to create a multidisciplinary team of high school students who will invent and assemble a robot according to the assignment and participate with it in the international FIRST competition in the USA.

In 2024/2025, ROBUL will apply to participate in one of the American regional rounds of the competition. In addition to the competition itself, the team is trying to establish contacts at local high schools and universities and visit local innovation centers, technical clubs and associations. We will soon find out which of the cities where the regional round of the FIRST competition in the USA is taking place will be the goal of our ROBUL team in March 2025.
