Competitive Robotics Reimagined

compAIR is an innovative hybrid robotics competition for high school students focusing on autonomous vehicle control and augmented reality.

Season Two: Planned for February 2023

Competitive Robotics Reimagined

Livestream 18th February - Day 1 - Seeding

Livestream 19th February - Day 2 - Double Elimination

Schedule of the competition and the video-stream

compAIR Schedule

This is the path.

This Season's Challenge: Autonomous Logistics

This season, the teams are tackling the challenge of autonomous logistics. Robots need to transport packages for Bmazon, move building materials to and from a construction site and empty a factory full of goods.

Seeding

In this discipline, teams are on their own. The task ahead: Complete challenges to score as many points as possible within two minutes. Autonomous decision making, reproducability and consistency are of essence. Every strategy needs to be well balanced and thought out.

Coding Challenges

Ramping up to the event, the teams need to complete three coding challenges. For each challenge, points are awarded by the competition judges. Also, for each submission, feedback is given to the teams which helps the participants to improve their programming skills.

Double Elimination

In this discipline, teams fight in a head-to-head double eliminiation tournament. Two robots start on the field, but only one will be victorious. Outmanouver the enemy, collect power-ups and fight for more points, until there is no time left. Nerveracking until the end.

Sign me up, Scotty!

Ready to get started?

Registration for Season two will open soon. Following requirements must be met:

  • Maximum Age: 19 Years
  • Robotics Kit: 250€

Science

Laser sensors, orientation sensors and similar are all based on physical principles - using the right tools for the correct task is an important skill for life.

Technology

Modern technology relies heavily on software, now more than ever before, and autonomous robots are becoming more suffisticated every day. Especially robotics is a very interdisciplinary field, requiring skills from many areas of expertise.

Engineering

The development of software is only have the deal, without robots to run it on, this would be pointless. From electrical to mechanical engineering and PCB development.

Mathematics

Mathematics is like a puzzle, one needs to think logically and solve a problem step-by-step, piece-by-piece.

How it works

Competitive Robotics as Education

Teaching future technologies in a practical way already today - that is our mission for compAIR. Combining edge technologies, interactive and modern educational approaches, and the thrill of an international robotics competition, it's not just the best who win, a participation is a knowledge gain for all.

Mentoring & Code Review

The participating teams are accompanied and supported by compAIR mentors - in terms of organization and technical aspects. As part of the competition, a code review will be conducted. Here, the teams receive immediate feedback on their programming skills.

Mentoring & Code Review
Makerspace AIRlab

Makerspace AIRlab

The finals compAIR will be held at AIRlab. This unique robotic lab at the HTBLuVA Wiener Neustadt offers the ideal place for innovative robotics due to its design and facilities. compAIR participants can use the AIRlab to develop and test their robots.

Developed & organized by robo4you

compAIR was created and is carried out by robo4you. robo4you can rely on more than 15 years of experience in robotics education. Teams supported by robo4you could achieve 11 world championship titles, 20 European championship titles and numerous special prizes in the last years.
