It is important for sustainability efforts to be applied at the best place outside our homes, our schools! That's why the project for GRG Mobile Robotics I is project Green School! Your robot will perform several tasks, such as, planting seeds, collecting rainwater, activating solar panels, finding the recycling bin, and even showcasing the school's sustainability mascot. But don't forget that your robot is in a school, so it needs to be intelligent enough to avoid obstacles.

Access to clean, drinkable water has always posed a significant challenge for developing regions. In giant water storage tanks, there are already solutions to bring large amounts of potable water to people. However, some areas still have difficulty receiving aid due to harsh terrain and undeveloped roads. For the competition, participants will be challenged to design a robot using the provided Stick ‘Em Kits to collect and deliver water cubes to the villages!
