Welcome to
RFORCE.
Creating Robotics Legends.
Why we exist.
Robotics isn't just about the machines.
It’s also 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, and no story.
RFORCE was built to change that.
Our mission is to give people pushing the boundaries the spotlight they deserve. The builders, drivers, programmers, coaches, teams, and organizations… Their stories must be shared with the world, as they are pioneers of the future.
If you are a robotics athlete, coach, team, organization, or even just an avid fan, and you believe in spreading the culture of innovation and competitive robotics, then this is where you belong. Welcome to RFORCE.
Here at RFORCE...
We aim to 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 reveal who is truly the best
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 compete.
How to start: 3 Simple Steps
1. Check the Rankings
Our Rankings update weekly as soon as events occur, check them regularly to see how competitors shift. They are powered by the RFORCE Index: a comprehensive performance metric that synthesizes all possible ways to score and reveals the true competitive nature of robotics.
2. Register an Account and Create Profiles
Enter the global stage of competitive robotics and showcase your success by creating your own RFORCE profile.
Athletes, Teams, Coaches, and Organizations are all welcome. You deserve to be recognized for your hard work and to cement your legacy in competitive robotics history.
3. Compete, connect, and grow
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: features, events, rankings, robot reveals, and more.

Our Founder
My robotics journey started a decade ago...
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.
