Form a team
You can take part in the World Robot Olympiad (WRO) in a team of 2 or 3 with an adult as your coach. Think of a cool team name and ask your coach to register you for the competition. It doesn’t matter whether you organize yourselves as a school robotics team, as a group from a leisure facility or simply as a private team.
