2021 Virtual World Championship
Due to the ongoing pandemic, the 2021 National Robotics Challenge will take place with a modified program. Two of our contest categories will not take place in 2021. Four events will be judged entirely online. Six events will submit videos and documentation to be scored online, with the top eight teams in each division invited to attend a live finals event in Marion, Ohio, at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Saturday, May 8, 2021. To further assist our teams with preparing for these changes, all registration fees for the 2021 event will be waived, and we have extended the registration deadline to March 5, 2021.
