About this opportunity
The Indian Robotics Olympiad (IRO) ROBO Adventures Innovators online competition is the online category of a national robotics contest organised by ROBO-G for young children. It allows participants to take part remotely by submitting a video of their robot completing a set of missions.
The competition is open to children aged 7 to 10 years, who can take part individually or in teams of two supported by a coach. Each edition follows a themed challenge, and participants build a robot to complete missions on a printed challenge mat.
Children build their robot using the Arduino Alvik kit and program it with mBlock software. They record a single continuous video of the robot run and submit it online along with a completed score sheet, where it is scored out of 100 points.
The online competition is evaluated separately from the in-person national event. All participants receive a graded medal certificate based on their score, helping young learners build robotics, coding and problem-solving skills.
Rounds and format
Single round – participants submit a robot-run video
How entries are judged
Robots are scored against the mission score sheet, with a maximum of 100 points. The positions of objects at the end of the run determine the score.
Selection process
Medal certificates are awarded by score percentage: Bronze for 25 to under 50 percent, Silver for 50 to under 75 percent, and Gold for 75 percent and above.
Academic details
Difficulty: Beginner
What's covered
Participants design, build and program an Arduino Alvik robot to complete a set of themed missions on a printed challenge mat, applying basic robotics and block-based coding.
Frequently asked questions
How are online entries evaluated?
Entries are scored against the official mission score sheet out of 100 points, based on the robot's performance in the recorded video. Online results are published separately from the in-person competition.
What robot kit do participants need for the Innovators online category?
Participants build the robot using the Arduino Alvik kit and program it with mBlock software. Those who already own a suitable kit need not buy another.
How do participants submit their work?
Teams record a single continuous video of the robot run, upload it to a public Google Drive link, and submit it with a scanned score sheet through the official online form before the deadline.
