International Botball® Tournament

The Global Conference on Educational Robotics hosts the International Botball® Tournament where Botball® teams from around the world vie for the International Championship. Any team that competes in a regional tournament regardless of how they finish is encouraged to participate in the International Botball® Tournament.

The International Botball® Tournament includes online documentation, onsite presentations, seeding rounds, double elimination rounds and alliance matches. Scores from each of these factor into a team’s overall score for the tournament. Alliance matches are scored, but the results are not factored into the overall team score. Awards are given for all tournament related events, including the alliance matches. The International Botball® Tournament seeding rounds, double elimination rounds and alliance matches are free and open to the public.

Precision Seeding Rounds

On day two of the conference, teams compete unopposed on the game board as their robots attempt to score as many points as they can. The seeding rounds are a great opportunity for teams to show what their robots can really do.

Head-to-Head Double Elimination

The action heats up on day four as teams go head-to-head in the double elimination rounds. Robots from two different teams compete on the game board simultaneously in an effort to score as many points as possible, but also to keep their opponent from scoring. It’s all in good fun since Botball® tournaments are designed to be exciting and educational, but non-destructive.
