The FIRA MyBOT Youth serves as a platform designed for secondary school students, offering a distinctive chance to grasp the essentials of robotics. Emphasizing fundamental problem-solving strategies, system development, testing, and debugging, the program now focuses entirely on nurturing programming, coding, and control skills. With guidance from higher education mentors, students enhance psychomotor skills and problem-solving abilities aligned with academic knowledge.
Sub-Category: MyBOT Tower Challenge
Participants develop a remote-controlled mobile robot capable of sorting, arranging, moving cubes, and building a tower within a specified time. A second robot must be autonomous, functioning as a line follower to move cubes within the time limit. Robots must remain on the field and comply with competition rules.
