RoboSTEM Academy Wins Judges' Choice Award at WSRO National Championships 2026 and Secures International Selection

Event: WSRO National Championships 2026 Location: Goa, India Category: SFRC (Smart Factory Robotics Challenge) Achievement: 4th Rank – Judges' Choice Award Team Name: The Robo Factory Team Members: Harrd Ajay Vadher and Ansh Prashant Akabari Representing: RoboSTEM Academy, Rajkot, Gujarat

A Proud Moment for RoboSTEM Academy

RoboSTEM Academy proudly celebrates a remarkable achievement at the WSRO National Championships 2026, held in Goa, India. Our students, Harrd Ajay Vadher and Ansh Prashant Akabari, representing The Robo Factory, secured 4th Rank and the Judges' Choice Award in the SFRC (Smart Factory Robotics Challenge) Category.

The competition challenged students to design and build a robot based on the challenge provided. Harrd and Ansh applied their knowledge of robotics, engineering, and programming to develop a solution that met the competition's requirements.

Competing on a national platform alongside talented young innovators, both students demonstrated creativity, teamwork, technical skills, and problem-solving abilities.

Adding to this achievement, our team has also been selected for the Fibonacci International Robot Olympiad World Championship 2026 in Rome, Italy. This selection marks another important milestone for RoboSTEM Academy and provides our students with an opportunity to showcase their skills internationally.

The Challenge: Designing and Building a Robot

The SFRC (Smart Factory Robotics Challenge) category gave students an opportunity to demonstrate their robotics and engineering skills by designing and building a robot based on the challenge provided.

Representing RoboSTEM Academy, Harrd and Ansh took on this challenge as The Robo Factory, applying their knowledge of robot construction, programming, and problem-solving.

Throughout the preparation process, the students worked on understanding the challenge, designing their robot, developing its mechanisms, and programming it to perform the required tasks.

The competition required them to think critically, make design decisions, test their robot, and make improvements wherever necessary.

This hands-on experience allowed Harrd and Ansh to apply concepts learned at RoboSTEM Academy in a practical and competitive environment.

A National Platform for Young Innovators

Participating in the WSRO National Championships was an important learning experience for Harrd and Ansh. The competition brought together students from different regions, providing an opportunity to showcase their creativity, engineering knowledge, and robotics skills.

During the event in Goa, both students had the opportunity to demonstrate their robot, explain their design, and present their approach to the challenge before the judges.

Taking part in a national-level robotics competition involves much more than building a robot. Students must also develop teamwork, communication, critical thinking, and the ability to adapt to unexpected challenges. Harrd and Ansh embraced this opportunity and gained valuable experience through the competition.

Judges' Choice Award

One of the proudest moments of the competition was when Harrd Ajay Vadher and Ansh Prashant Akabari, representing The Robo Factory, secured 4th Rank and received the Judges' Choice Award in the SFRC Category.This recognition marked an important milestone for both students and the entire RoboSTEM Academy team.

The achievement reflects their dedication, creativity, teamwork, and efforts throughout their preparation and participation in the competition.

For our academy, this recognition reinforces our commitment to providing students with opportunities to explore robotics, engineering, and innovation through hands-on learning and competitions.

From National Recognition to the International Stage

Following their achievement at the WSRO National Championships, Harrd and Ansh received another exciting opportunity: selection for the Fibonacci International Robot Olympiad World Championship 2026. The international championship will take place from 19 November to 4 December 2026 in Rome, Italy.

This selection gives Harrd and Ansh an opportunity to represent RoboSTEM Academy on an international platform and participate alongside young innovators from different countries.

The upcoming championship will provide valuable exposure to international robotics competitions, different engineering approaches, and new learning opportunities.

For both students, this is an exciting next step in their robotics journey. It is an opportunity to challenge themselves, gain international experience, and further develop their technical and problem-solving skills.

We are incredibly proud of Harrd and Ansh for achieving this milestone and look forward to supporting them as they prepare for the World Championship in Rome.

Beyond Awards: Learning, Innovation, and Growth

At RoboSTEM Academy, we believe that robotics competitions are about much more than winning awards. They provide students with opportunities to explore ideas, overcome challenges, work as a team, and develop skills that will benefit them in the future.

Through their participation in the WSRO National Championships, Harrd and Ansh gained valuable experience in: - Robot Design: Understanding the challenge and designing a robot to meet its requirements. - Engineering Skills: Applying mechanical and engineering concepts to build a functional robot. - Programming: Developing and improving programs to perform the required tasks. - Problem-Solving: Identifying technical challenges, testing solutions, and making improvements. - Teamwork: Collaborating and sharing responsibilities throughout the competition. - Communication: Explaining their robot's design and demonstrating its capabilities to the judges. - Confidence: Representing RoboSTEM Academy at a national-level competition.

These experiences help students develop a practical understanding of robotics while encouraging curiosity, creativity, and independent thinking.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Parents
