Online Challenges Cycle 2 - Robots + Drones: The Ultimate Team (Achieve)

ACH20267405 Submissions open soon Achieve (Middle/High School Robotics) Online Challenge · submissions Nov 16 – Dec 4, 2026 (CST)

General information

The Ultimate Team 

What if the best solution isn’t one robot or one drone—but two different technologies working together? In this challenge, your team will explore how robots and drones are beginning to work together, then imagine how they could team up to tackle a future challenge. Choose your problem, design the roles of your aerial and ground systems, and show how they communicate, collaborate, and get the job done. 

The future of robotics may not be about building one machine that can do everything. It may be about creating the right team!
