Develop logical and algorithmic thinking skills through challenging tasks
Improve programming and technical abilities with real robots
Encourage teamwork and creativity in solving complex problems

Demonstration of the successful operation of your robot. Recommended is more than single experiment and different conditions.
Complete program listing (either the screenshot, or text).
Description (in English) about the robot operation, its function and problems you encounter during the problem solving.
Learn from the best: selected solutions of each task will be published so you can learn from other teams and gain more experiences.
It is not allowed to add any additional electronic peripherals (motors, sensors) that other teams do not have.
Registered teams get optional access to a special AI tool (chatbot) for consultations
⚠ Disclaimer: AI Chatbot is an experimental tool; use it on your own risk.

The RoCoCo (Robot Corresponding Competition) is a competition organized by the ICE-R project team designed to develop logical thinking, technical skills, and teamwork among high school students using mBot2 robots. Structured around four correspondence rounds, the league invites teams up to 7 students, guided by an adult coach, to address partially open-ended assignments that encourage creative engineering and programming solutions. To participate, teams must submit comprehensive deliverables in English via Google Classroom, including a technical description, video demonstration, photo documentation, and the complete program code written in mBlock or Python. Entries are assessed by an independent jury based on functionality, creativity, and documentation quality, with the competition offering access to an experimental AI consultant tool and culminating in a final results announcement in May 2026.
