The FBISD Robotics Competition is a robo challenge where campus teams compete separately on identical competition areas. Teams work to complete their tasks as efficiently and effectively as possible. The robot is the cornerstone of the competition.Teams design, build a prototype, program, and test their robots prior to the competition date. Teams compete virtually using the completed robots. If necessary, the top teams complete a second round of competition to decide a champion. All robots must be built and programmed by students with sponsors or mentors serving only as advisors. This is an event that is open to students that are part of their schools Coding/Robotic Clubs.
Official tasks for the competition will be posted in November. Below are the rules of the event. Feel free to review to see what the event is about and how the challenges would be presented.
Sample Robotic Jobs for Practice
Round 1: Virtual competition will start the week of March 23, 2026.
