Let’s get ready to RoboRumble! The RoboRumble Regional Robotics Tournament, hosted by the Kentucky Derby Festival Foundation and coordinated by Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS), is a regional STEM robotics competition that challenges students and teams to design, build and compete with robots.

Events include:

• SumoBot Competition draws its inspiration from the traditional Japanese sport of Sumo Wrestling, with robots facing off in a circular arena trying to push each other out of the ring, mimicking the Sumo wrestlers’ objective.
• RCX Challenge – LEGO Robot Competition brings LEGO enthusiasts together to showcase their programming and design prowess on a rectangular playing field. Robots are tasked with a series of missions, each with unique obstacles and goals.
• Sphero Hero features a team of students creating an original (short) dramatic story, making an obstacle course as the stage for their story, and programming a Sphero to navigate the stage autonomously while students narrate their tale to a judge.
