It’s just as much about the people who build them.
Too many competitors and innovators go unnoticed. Too many scores and systems are hard to understand or compare. Too many builders are doing incredible things with no spotlight, no stage, no story.
RFORCE was built to change that.
Our mission is to spotlight the people pushing the boundaries. The builders, drivers, programmers, coaches, teams, and organizations… The unsung architects of tomorrow.
So if you are a robotics athlete, coach, team, organization, or even just an avid fan, and you believe in pushing the limits of what’s possible, then this is where you belong.
We offer a platform where competitors compete, connect, and grow. Where your name, your team, your robot, and your ideas are finally seen.
At our core, we are:
A profile-based network for robotics competitors
The creators of the RFORCE Index: a comprehensive performance metric created to reward your hard work and achievements
A knowledge-sharing space built for action and concrete results
A curated stream of industry insights, innovation news, and competition content
But most importantly, we are a community. One built for those who build.
Athletes, Teams, Coaches, and Organizations are all welcome. Show the world who you are: your teammates, your robots, your ideas, your journey. You deserve to be recognized for your hard work. Create your profile to share your gift with the world and cement your name in robotics history.
Our RFORCE Index synthesizes performance into one metric and reveals the true competitive nature of robotics. You are a part of it, and you deserve to be seen.
Compete the at the highest level, share knowledge, join discussions, and upgrade your thinking with our content and tools made exclusively for you. Stay up to date on the latest Robotics Competition headlines: highlights, shoutouts, leaderboard shifts, announcements, robot reveals, and more.
Joining my school’s robotics team in 5th grade ignited in my heart a fire for all that is technology and innovation. Witnessing robots in action: big and small, building my own, failing, fixing, winning, losing… all of it gave me purpose.
Technology is THE driver of progress. From the simplest farming tools to the most complex AI systems, humanity has mastered and scaled technology create the world we live in today.
Now, we are on the brink of a revolution, one driven by robotics.
It is time to bring robotics and inventors into the mainstream. It is time to transform robotics into a culture.
RFORCE is a movement, one that brings together the best minds and hands in the world of robotics and gives them the visiblity, respect, and community they deserve. Because I strongly believe that competitive robotics is the perfect environment for innovators to rise.
This mission created this website. This belief created RFORCE. The first step in the robot cultural revolution.
Let’s build the future, together.
