Teams will have just six months to engineer their creations. As +well as supplying teams with a kit, which they can use as a framework for their +robot, we mentor the teams over this period. Thanks to the generosity of our +sponsors, we provide all of this to our teams at no cost. + +The competition cycle will start with an in-person [Kickstart event][kickstart] +hosted at the University of Southampton. During the event the game and the +structure of the competition will be announced. + +The competition year will culminate in an in-person competition over two days in +around Easter 2025, which will see the robots compete through a league stage and +a seeded knockout. As usual the prizes will recognise not only the teams which +come top in the knockouts, but also those who excel in other ways. + +Details of the game and prizes will be revealed at Kickstart. Details of the +Kickstart and competition events will be published when they are available. +We expect to confirm places towards the end of September. + +If you would like a chance to [compete][compete] in Student Robotics 2025, +please fill in the [entry form][entry-form] with the required information. +Places are limited, so sign up soon to avoid disappointment. + +We look forward to seeing your teams! + +
