About Botball
About Botball
The Botball Educational Robotics Program engages middle and high school students in a team-oriented robotics competition. Students use science, engineering, technology, math, and writing skills to design, build, program, and document robots in a hands-on project that reinforces their learning. All robots are autonomous, no remote controls. Students program their robots in C, C++, and/or Python.
Please learn more about Botball on the official site.
