OPEN BIOSBOT
OPEN BIOSBOT is a dynamic day of innovation and educational technology, created by the Biosbot Robotics Foundation and its competition teams, Team Biosbot, with the goal of providing children and teenagers with a practical, inclusive, and formative experience in the exciting world of robotics.
Designed for participants between the ages of 7 and 17, this event combines hackathon-style challenges with technical tasks in robot programming, mission design, and execution using LEGO robots — all within a motivating, collaborative, and high-energy environment.
Through this experience, participants strengthen key skills in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) while enhancing their creativity, critical thinking, teamwork, and decision-making under pressure.
OPEN BIOSBOT also offers a valuable opportunity for participants to gain hands-on experience in competitive robotics, especially in the areas of robot launching and mission programming. The event is designed to help young competitors overcome stage fright, build self-confidence, and become familiar with the dynamics of official tournaments, preparing them to proudly and effectively represent their teams in future competitions.
What is Open Biosbot?
Open Biosbot es un torneo tipo hackatón, diseñado como una experiencia formativa que simula las condiciones reales de competencia en torneos de robótica como FIRST LEGO League y WRO. Está dirigido a niños, niñas y adolescentes entre 7 y 16 años, con el objetivo de fortalecer sus habilidades en programación, estrategia, trabajo en equipo y control emocional frente a los retos del campo de juego.
Tournament Dynamics
-
The tournament takes place over a single day, beginning with the official presentation of the challenge and the game field.
-
Each team, made up of 2 to 4 participants, must design, build, and program their robot on the same day of the event, based on clues and images provided in advance.
-
Programming is carried out independently by the participants, with no intervention from coaches at the competition table.
-
The robot must complete missions on a designated game board, starting from a defined launch area.
-
In the morning, the teams have several hours to develop their strategies, program and test on the practice tables.
-
In the afternoon, there will be two test launches and two official launches, each with a time limit of 1 minute and 30 seconds.
-
The final score is based on mission execution, programming strategy, and efficient use of sensors and mechanisms.
