Tekbot Robotics ChallengeAn intensive technical competition

The Challenge ​

The Tekbot Robotics Challenge 2K25 is a high-level technical competition designed to showcase talent in electronics, mechanics, and embedded software. Over the course of 5 weeks, our teams engage in a creative and technological battle structured around real-world technical challenges.

Each pole faces its own set of specific tests, but it’s the interdisciplinary synergy that truly sets the team apart.

5-Week Structure ​

Rigorous Pre-Selection Phase ​

Before the final stage of the challenge, a technical pre-selection phase was conducted to evaluate core skills.

Tests by Pole ​

• IT Pole:

  • Object-Oriented Programming (C++, Python)
  • Introduction to ROS2
  • Pathfinding Algorithm with Gazebo & RViz2

• Electronic Pole:

  • Gyroscope and Accelerometer (Input test)
  • Communication System (Black box)
  • 7-Segment Motorized Display

• Mechanical Pole:

  • CAD with SolidWorks
  • Technical Assemblies
  • Advanced Design & Simulation

The Final Test: Smart Conveyor System ​

The ultimate challenge? Design a smart waste-sorting conveyor system, combining:

• Color detection,
• Real-time web interface,
• Precision mechanics,
• Robust embedded code,
• and tight inter-pole collaboration.

This integrative project highlights the full spectrum of our team’s expertise.

Our Approach ​

We tackle each test with:

• An agile mindset, iterative and goal-driven
• Live documentation, continuously updated on GitHub
• A pursuit of technical excellence, both functional and aesthetic
• A strong, collaborative team culture

Follow our journey week by week and discover how each pole pushes the boundaries of technical innovation throughout the TRC 2025.
